Anthony Weiner was under no obligation to resign.

1. True.

He took that decision himself.

[HopeHoops]

2. Frankly, he probably just did it to get that monkey off of the party's back.

He'll resurface when the time is right.

[CrossChris]

3. No obligation, just intense pressure from the so-called leadership of his own party

I don't know what you're trying to express here.

[LoZoccolo]

4. I think it was ultimately his decision.

7. Imagine if they leaked the Pentagon papers one page per day...

Folks would be outraged as news after news break of more corruption would be released...

This is how they got to Weiner. Slowly leaking photos so the story would always stay "fresh".

8. His lies and false accusations did not "force" him to resign. They shamed Congress, though.

His resignation was the right thing to do.

10. Bullshit, he was pressured to resign.

But yeah...no obligation whatsoever. :eyes:

[LoZoccolo]

11. I'm under pressure to stop posting one-line posts, but I still do so.

[Rex]

13. I'm surprised anyone cares.

[City Lights]

14. Yeah, because there's no difference between your tweet-like OPs and what

is going on with Wiener.

:eyes:

Get over yourself.

[CelticThunder]

12. He was under no obligation to sext and lie about it either. I shed no tears for him.

[brooklynite]

15. And the other Democrats were under no obligation to...

consider his Bills or Amendments;

allow him to participate in Committee meetings;

offer him financial and campaign support in his re-election;

allow him to participate in Caucus discussions;

[mazzarro]

16. But you and the others have been carping all week long for him to resign

Now you want us to know that he was under no obligation to resign? So you will prefer he become a pinata for you to kick around as you wish? You speak with forked tongue!

[LoZoccolo]

17. What leverage did I have?

[Maru Kitteh]

18. People often confuse DU with actual life.

You didn't know how powerful you are, did you? You are also responsible for the NC legislature decision on abortion yesterday too. Did you know that?

See how amazing you are?
