Barack Obama has labeled the scandal a "distraction"
U.S. President, Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats in Congress are aggressively investigating married New York congressman, Anthony Weiner, over an embarrassing sexting scandal, where the politician was caught sending nude and semi-nude photos to women on the internet.
The scandal came to a head, when author and blogger, Andrew Breitbart, leaked a nude photo of Weiner's penis to the Opie and Anthony radio show. They in turn snapped a copy of the pic, according to Breitbart, without his knowledge and sent it to a website, where it went viral.

In other news, it was also revealed Weiner was privately communicating with a 17-year-old girl on the social networking site Twitter. However, a police investigation deemed nothing inappropriate occurred, as she was simply cheering on her favorite congressman.
Weiner has taken a temporary leave of absence from Congress to seek therapy for sexual addiction. However, he has refused to resign his post, much to fellow Democrats dismay, as they are worried about the 2012 election. Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, chief-of-staff to U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is pregnant.
