Biden Tells Dems He Regrets Obama Remark By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: February 3, 2007 Filed at 10:30 a.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Joe Biden expressed regret Saturday for describing presidential rival Barack Obama as an articulate and clean African-American, trying to stem damage to his nascent 2008 campaign. ''So, how was your week?'' Biden, D-Del., said as he took the podium at the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting. He broke into a wide smile and then a chuckle as audience members laughed. Then he turned serious. ''I want to say that I truly regret that the words I spoke offended people that I admire very much,'' Biden said. He said he was grateful for the chance to be judged by his story and to be heard in the presidential race. Biden spent his first day as an official presidential candidate Wednesday explaining his statement that Obama is ''the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.'' Biden is one of nine candidates in the Democratic presidential race. All appeared for the first time at the same event this weekend for the DNC gathering.
