President Barack Obama on Friday personally sought to deflect criticism about Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, who finds herself under intensifying scrutiny for saying in 2001 that a female Hispanic judge would often reach a better decision than a white male judge. ”I’m sure she would have restated it,” Obama flatly told NBC News, without indicating how he knew that.

”I think if she had the speech to do all over again, I think she’d change that word,” presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters.Gibbs said he did not hear that from Sotomayor directly, but rather from
people who had talked to her[ a friend of a friend’s brother’s proctologust } , and he did not identify who those people were. Sotomayor herself has made no public comments about the matter and was not available for comment.
I give it about a week before she never said it at all.........and she becomes an NRA member too.
