From the Hill: White House press secretary Jay Carney insisted Wednesday that it was President Obama's job to focus on the economy and not brewing municipal scandals as he fielded multiple questions about sexually improper behavior by San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner.
"I understand the allure of issues like this in the media … and I'm not being critical of it, but I'm saying that the president believes his job is not to comment on those issues, but to focus on what he can do to get this economy growing faster and creating more jobs," Carney said.
The White House spokesman insisted that Obama was not obligated to comment, despite having spoken out previously about the issue of sexual harassment in the military. Eight women have come forward to accuse Filner, a former U.S. congressman, of sexual misconduct in the workplace.
"No," Carney said. "The president is focused on what we can do for the middle class in this country."

Seriously, Obama cannot find the time to condemn the behavior of Weiner and Filner but can weigh in a couple of times in the Trayvon Martin case?
Remember when Obama got involved with an old man professor who is Black and a police officer?
And yet he refuses to condemn a confessed sexual harasser.
The Democrat Party war on women continues.
