This just in via email from the Obama camp: the official statement about the Sotomayor nomination:

As La Macha mentioned in her previous post about the Sotomayor appointment, the romanticism around the parents who worked around the clock to get the judge where she is today is a big part of the rhetoric, and echoed in the Obama statement.

Either way, this appointment is, to me, the only (albeit ineffective) salve for my disgust over the Prop 8 ruling.
