Buyer's Remorse Frank?

[Mr. Brian]

I know a lot of people who are invested in him and can't bring themselves to admit any shortcomings.

As opposed to the people who supported W? Isn't this always this case? How is this unique with Obama?

BF, did you change your mind, too?

(CNN) — A week after calling Sonia Sotomayor a "racist" in reference to her 2001 "wise Latina" remarks, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday he's now open to supporting President Obama's Supreme Court nominee.

"I can see a possibility of supporting this nomination if I can be convinced that she does have a sensibility toward life in a legal sense," Limbaugh said on his radio program.

Limbaugh's statement comes the same day former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who himself derided Sotomayor as a "racist" last week, wrote in an op-ed that he regretted his choice of words.

On his show Wednesday, Limbaugh said his potential support of Sotomayor stems from the nominee's unclear stance on abortion coupled with the fact that she is a Catholic.

If she could have shown me with her past decisions and statements you don't need a deep tan to get justice from her then I would be open to her as a Supreme Court Justice. I have to say I know A LOT of people who come from similar ethnic backgrounds and financial circumstances and one of their key beliefs is that Caucasians cannot be victims. It's just what they've been taught in their "social justice" courses which are heavily pushed in East LA schools.

I don't care what she's saying now (it's gonna be all kumbaya to appease Republicans) based on her past rulings and statements it seems the cracka man can't get no satisfaction.

Obama Says Sotomayor’s “Castrate White Males” Comment Taken Out of Context

WASHINGTON - President Obama said that comments by Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor in a 2004 speech in which she called for the “castration of all white males until they are no longer dominant,” have been “taken out of context” by right wing ideologues.

In the speech delivered to the San Juan chapter of NOW, Sotomayor said, “I want to be perfectly clear about this next comment so that there is no mistaking my words to mean something other than what they plainly say: the time has come to end white male oppression by castrating every white male until they are no longer dominant in Western culture. That means forcible removal of their testicles. I realize the brutality of my comment, and I don’t know how to say it more clearly.”

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs agreed with President Obama that the statement “has been taken out of context,” and added that Sotomayor “certainly did not mean” that white males should be castrated. “Judge Sotomayor was simply saying that there should be room at the American table for diverse cultures, that’s all. It is astounding that people are reading ‘castration’ into it.”

President Obama told MSNBC: ”Look, when Judge Sotomayor appears before the Senate committee, all this nonsense that is being spewed out by ideologues will be revealed for what it is.”
