President Obama. [1]Greg Sargent (The Plum Line) reports:
In an interview to air on NBC later tonight, Obama concedes she may
have misspoke but that her larger meaning was clear and
uncontroversial.
According to the NBC press release, Obama says:
�I�m sure she would have restated it. But if you look in the entire
sweep of the essay that she wrote, what�s clear is that she was
simply saying that her life experiences will give her information
about the struggles and hardships that people are going through �
that will make her a good judge.�
For my thinking on the quote, see [2]this item on politico.com.
