Sam Adams...Time to Go


The Oregonian, a Oregon newspaper has had it with Sammy. After an investigation revealed that Sam called Beau Breedlove 33 times before he was 18 for some booty, folks are done.

The are calling for an immediate resignation.
Past mayors have played prominent roles in shaping the city's schools. Adams made the high school dropout rate a centerpiece of his election campaign, but because of the nature of the Breedlove accusations and how he has handled them, he cannot and has not played any role since in addressing the problem. It's tough to succeed when critics can easily win over the public by casting doubt on Adams' motives, when outside groups consider changing their plans for fear of being pulled into a scandal and where other political leaders practically do somersaults in order not to be photographed with Portland's mayor.

Any number of people in Portland now believe that Adams will be done for as mayor as soon as Kroger's investigators present their findings, or as soon as someone mounts a recall campaign.

But, really, he was done for the moment he decided to win the last election with a lie. In January, we thought the right course would soon be evident to Adams. It was not. Now it is only clearer. Adams should resign.


I think so too. Sammy, it's over.
