Obama: Anger Over Reid's Racist Comments Makes "Absolutely No Sense"

From Obama:

[Reid]’s apologized, recognizing that he didn’t use appropriate language. But there was nothing mean-spirited in what he had to say...The fact that we spend days on this instead of talking about the unemployment rate or talking about how we deal with critical issues like energy and health care is an indication of why I think people don’t understand what’s happening in Washington.
