Obama Stays Silent On Democrats Mired In Scandals
WASHINGTON -- When President Barack Obama ran for re-election last year, he and his advisers were quick to condemn comments from Republicans that were deemed offensive or demeaning to women.
But now, with two prominent members of Obama's Democratic Party admitting to lewd online behavior and facing allegations of sexual harassment, the White House is conspicuously silent.
"Interesting how we're hearing crickets from the Democrats when it comes time to condemn activity from some of their own,"
Indeed, Obama and his campaign advisers quickly denounced Missouri Senate candidate. The president said the Republican congressman's comments were "offensive" and underscored a significant difference in approach to women's issues between Democrats and the GOP.
While the controversies surrounding Akin and Murdock focused on words, the spectacles involving Weiner and Filner center on actions.
what was that ol liberal saying.. about staying silent is about the same as backslapping?
