1. I don't think he was wrong in the context he said it...

But, I do understand why people were offended. So, he was right to apologize I guess normal people do that when they offend other people even if they didn't mean to be offensive and even if they might not have actually been wrong.

On a side note, I was very happy to see him chanting with the protesters at the end and that he can clap in rhythm. If I had to vote on a candidate based on musical talent (he sings and plays the guitar) he would definitely get my vote. I love that he connects to people in this way and he isn't afraid to show his human side.
