Obama calls Sotomayor 'our own royalty' at DC Hispanic gala
NY Daily News ^ | September 18,2009

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama told a Hispanic gathering on Wednesday that the proudest moment of his presidency was when Justice Sonia Sotomayor became the nation’s first Latina member of the Supreme Court.“

-SNIP-

“Our own royalty, somebody who we have become so extraordinarily proud of, somebody who I’ve just come to adore, and who is somebody who’s going to make us proud for many, many years to come, because she’s not term-limited, the newest justice of the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor,” he said.

-SNIP-

J.Lo looked slender and stunning in a figure-hugging nude dress during the day. Later, she changed to a black satin gown. Obama, who was joined by his wife Michelle at the gala, also promised action on immigration, although he left unspoken a timeline.

Can’t think why, but for some reason this reminds me of that guy who sold crack in Atlantic City and got so rich he bought himself a crown to wear when he went out at night.

Sorry BO. Americans aren’t “into” princesses and crap like that. Time to get with the program bubba! You’re an “American” now. (At least for the next three years anyway).

Let's put it this way, Sotomayor's surname is a Medieval Title of Nobility.

That's probably where she gets her fascist ideas from.

So judges are now “royalty”? I guess all that stuff in 1776 was just a ruse....

They might as well be. Faced with the question of the scope of their authority what did you think they’d say?

This may not be happenstance.

“When I travel around the world, no matter where I’ve gone so far, the first thing, world leaders, Prime Ministers, Kings, Queens ask me about is the White House garden! And then they ask about [First Dog] Bo. Everybody— it’s the garden and Bo or Bo and the garden. One or the other.”

"Our royalty" and somebody he "adores"? That is very strange language. Has he gone crazy?

Celebrity culture of the worst sort.

Each of the words in the phrase “our own royalty” would be deeply offensive from any public official. But from the president of the United States? Joe Wilson was far too gracious.

“OUR” is people of color, don’t you know. Obama thinks in those terms. There’s them (whites) and us.

I’m a descendant of Niall Noigalloch - “Niall of the Nine Hostages” - the 5th Century Irish “Ard Ri” or High King... doe that make me royalty?

I thought this Nation was a Republic? I’m so tired of hearing about “America’s Princes, Princesses and royalty” and the likes of the Kennedys. I want to hurl everytime I hear the expression.

No, he’s just stuck in campaign mode. When is he not selling himself?

Looks like just another Mamacita to me.

The world turned upside down.

They call anyone who opposes Bambi a racist... and then look the other way when Bambi declares himself a racist and makes GENUINE racist comments at the overtly racial gathering of a group whose avowed purpose is racism.

Freaking surreal.

Never. I bet he will set a record for speeches before Congress.

If so.

Sometimes I think he says things like this on purpose and for a reason. Don’t take the bait too hard we all know what they’ve been up to lately.

Yes and with the typical doublespeak mentality that Marxists have, you know each word was chosen carefully to have specific meaning to be understood by the attending ‘in-crowd’, dripping with future intent that none of us are going to like very much.

This “royalty” is:

“- - - principalities, (against) powers, (against) the rulers of the darkness of this world,( against) spiritual wickedness in high places. “ - Ephesians 6:12
