Johnson Backpedals

It did not take Robert Johnson long to backpedal away from his scathing remarks about Sen. Barack Obama's drug use. Johnson issued the following statement through the Clinton campaign:

My comments today were referring to Barack Obama's time spent as a community organizer, and nothing else. Any other suggestion is simply irresponsible and incorrect.

When Hillary Clinton was in her twenties she worked to provide protections for abused and battered children and helped ensure that children with disabilities could attend public school.

That results oriented leadership - even as a young person - is the reason I am supporting Hillary Clinton
.

Frankly, I find Johnson's explanation disingenuous. Looking at the videotape, it is clear that he was referring to an activity somewhat more nefarious than community organizing.
