If you were President Obama How Would YOU Explain Mayoral Candidate Weiner's E-Mail Flashing? [View all]

Malia and Sasha are at that age where they ask questions. The are in a Private School with educators who cannot shield them from information because it's up to them to give advantage to Privileged Children who attend that school so that they can get into the Top Universities in the USA as is befitting their stature.

So...I think both Malia and Sasha have "Current Events" in their curriculum.

When they come home from school and ask about NY Mayoral Candidate Anthony Weiner and why he's exposed himself twice on the Internet....how do you think President Obama or any Father would explain this to their daughters....or Sons? Maybe they wouldn't dare ask their father about this because it's kind of a GROSS issue to get into. But, if you are an inquisitive, intelligent kid in a Private School that educates the Elites in DC...you know they are going to be exposed to "Civics" and History.

Isn't this the question we should be asking about Anthony Weiner and his Democratic Party Candidacy for Mayor of NYC?
