The Associated Press: Obama presses anew for Sotomayor confirmation

From the article:

Obama said..."What I hope is that we can avoid the political posturing and ideological brinksmanship that has bogged down this process, and Congress, in the past."

He derided "some in Washington who are attempting to draw old battle lines and playing the usual political games, pulling a few comments out of context to paint a distorted picture of Judge Sotomayor's record."

Talk about "Audacity", wow...

Typical liberal: do as I say - not as I do.
