“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.

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.

Political ping.
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).
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....
Who is ‘OUR’, Dear Leader?
The Queen.
They might as well be. Faced with the question of the scope of their authority what did you think they’d say?
What a racist SOB he is!

“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.
"Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."
Well zero you should be proud. you got a LaRaza queen on the court. Maybe next time you can get an acorn whore on the court. Then we can all be really proud.
“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.
Oh, right. Soooooo, I guess my Cherokee portion should just ‘butt out’, huh? My children’s Asian portion should, too./s
Somthun’ like dat.
