I'm sorry, help me understand Mayor Adams being a pedophile? The man was 18. In 32 states plus at least three territories and the District of Columbia, even a 17 year old can choose to have a sexual relationship with anyone they choose.

I am confused by your use of the word "shows." The plural implies a pattern. Please point out the pattern. Based on what I know, the only pattern is to deny a single legal and consensual sexual relationship over and over. Are there examples of the Mayor not being truthful in the execution of his duties, rather than this side show about his personal life?

And what happens when we find out that President Obama is not Jesus Christ? That he has flaws and human weaknesses? That this man of integrity tells lies? How quickly will you nail him to the tree?

Just a point of clarification. The majority of the liberal West ironically sets age of consent of at 18 including Washington State. My count this morning was that there are 32 states + DC, American Samoa, Guam, and Puerto Rico where the age of consent is 17 or younger. http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm

DO NOT RESIGN!

This is not pay-for-play. This is not lying under oath. This is not making up false intelligence. Guess what, men and women lie about sex every single day. Lies to boost image and lies to cover up what others do not need to know. Willamette Week asked an inappropriate question to which then Councilman Adams should have responded, "It is none of your business." Instead, as most of us would do when being put on the spot, he lied. Having sex with an intern was poor judgement. This act of poor judgement and the associated lie, however, do not form a pattern of lies and deceit that deteriorates his ability to lead and execute the duties of his office. Let the Attorney General perform his review before casting judgement.
