Senator apologizes to Obama for racial remark in 2008

US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apologized to President Barack Obama on Saturday for comments he made during the 2008 presidential campaign that critics find racially offensive. A new book about the campaign, Game Change, said Reid, in private conservations, described Obama as "light-skinned" and with "no Negro dialect." Obama issued a statement accepting the apology: "I've known him for years, I've seen the passionate leadership he's shown on issues of social justice and I know what's in his heart."
