Yeah, that is an odd comment, I don't really care that much that any person visits a prostitute or that he had an affair (seems like some false outrage, likely based on political party allegiances). However he is an elected official and is expected to hold himself to a higher standard, including not breaking the laws of the land that he is residing, particularly when on government business. In general it shows a disregard of common sense and that is an issue in itself.
I am not going to get worked up in a frenzy about the adultery stuff - that is where the argument against him takes a turn to the stupid, no one is privy to information regarding his personal life or his marriage.
Lots of people and lots of politicians have affairs, it doesn't mean that they are incapable of holding office and doing a good job.
