Obama On KKK Past: Byrd Regrets "Things He Said And Did"
"We know there are things that he said and things that he did that he came to regret. I remember talking about that. The first time I visited with him, he said 'there are things I regretted in my youth.' You may know that. I said 'none of us are absent [of] some regrets, Senator,'" President Obama spoke of Sen. Robert Byrd's KKK past.
