President Obama weighed in earlier in the week on the effect of Weiner's sex scandal on his career, saying he would resign were he in the congressman's position, and he put in his two cents in an interview that aired on Friday's Good Morning America about the shamed politician's marriage with wife Huma Abedin: "I wish Rep. Weiner and his lovely wife well," Obama said, adding that he believed Weiner will "refocus" and that the couple will ultimately be able to "bounce back." Weiner finally resigned from Congress Thursday, three weeks after his Twitter scandal first broke out. A source told the Daily News that it was his pregnant wife who finally convinced Weiner to resign.
