US President Barack Obama on Monday said that if he were in disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner\'s place, he would resign over the sending of lewd photos to women in online exchanges.
"I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign," Obama said during a brief interview with NBC News, his first public comment on the latest sex scandal to roil the US Congress.
Weiner has faced a flurry of calls from within his own Democratic Party to resign after the married lawmaker lied about a series of online conversations with women in which he sent lewd photos, including one of his underwear.
