From NBC's Tom Lea and Mark Murray
Four days after he made an unmistakable allusion to Obama's teenage drug use and even referred to him as Sidney Poitier, Clinton supporter Bob Johnson apologized to Obama for those remarks.

"I'm writing to apologize to you and your family personally for the un-called-for comments I made at a recent Clinton event," Johnson said in a statement. "In my zeal to support Senator Clinton, I made some very inappropriate remarks for which I am truly sorry. I hope that you will accept this apology. Good luck on the campaign trail."

I'm glad. That needed to be done. I don't understand why the people associated with the Clinton campaign keep coming back to Obama's teenage drug use. Is that all they've got on him?

Apparently yes. Or nor really but they're trying to play "nice." Or something.

Oh and for whoever was asking me about Obama's work with Republicans, there's a lovely article in a recent newsweek that talks about his tenure in Illinois
