Obama Says He Regrets His Language on Gates Arrest

President Obama said Friday that he "could have calibrated" his words more carefully in the racially-charged controversy over the arrest of a Harvard professor, making a surprise appearance at the daily White House briefing to try and cool the tensions surrounding the case.

I know two things - the whole story isn't out, and Dave Chapelle had a great bit about almost the exact same thing....
