Timeline of events:

January 13th: Robert Johnson of BET says "Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood that I won't say what he was doing but he said it in his book.", making an obviously veiled reference to Obama's admitted teen drug use

Later in the day, after people hearing the reference claim foul, the Clinton puts out a statement from Johnson saying:

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

With their own spokesman adding "That's not what he was talking about"

January 15th: In the debate Clinton is asked about the incident. She gives a bizarre set of responses:

CLINTON: Well, Bob has put out a statement saying what he was trying to say and what he thought he had said. We accept him on his word on that.

But, clearly, we want to send a very clear message to everybody that this campaign is too important for us to either get diverted or, frankly, get the message of what we want to do for our country subverted by any kind of statements or claims that are just not part of who I am or who Barack or John are....

So I accept what he said, but I think what’s important is what I say and what each of us says about the kind of president we intend to be and how we’re going to get there.

RUSSERT: Were his comments out of bounds?

CLINTON: Yes, they were.

To paraphrase, "he made a perfectly innocent comment about community organizing - a comment I believe to be grossly inappropriate." This is what happens when you're still holding on to the old lie(that the comments were innocent) while trying to transition to the new lie(that we're very sorry)

January 17th: Johnson releases an apology letter to Obama, saying: I'm writing to apologize to you and your family personally for the uncalled-for comments I made at a recent Clinton event. In my zeal to support Senator Clinton, I made some very inappropriate remarks for which I am truly sorry. I hope that you will accept this apology.

Hillary Clinton, candidate of unity and change
