The comments about Obama’s race may be more problematic, particularly as Reid confronts a bleak re-election landscape in Nevada. After Reid’s aides were asked by the politics editor of The Atlantic, Marc Ambinder, on Friday night about the passage in the book, they stayed up until 2:30 a.m., fashioning a statement of apology and drawing up a list of 35 civil rights and political leaders for Reid to call. Manley called Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, to inform him of what was happening and set up a call between the majority leader and the president. Reid telephoned Obama the next day. When Obama asked if there was anything he could do, Reid asked if the president could put out a statement of support. The White House obliged. (A few days later, a Reid aide e-mailed to remind me that Reid has a towering portrait of Martin Luther King Jr. in the foyer of his home in Searchlight.)
