The president is "selling" different things to different audiences with regard to this nominee. (just like every late 20th century, 21st century president before him has done.)
To the general electorate (political, gender, racial) audiences who, beyond an expected passing interest in her legal qualifications, want to connect on some deeper socio-political level, the persavearance angle plays and plays well. It's really politics 101.
The legal community will (regardless of whatever else the president says to other audiences) focus on her legal credentials. Again, standard operating procedure.
I really don't see what the big deal is. This is America. We see what we want to see.
