Here is the part that you didn't quote, directly after what you did  
quote, which sounds like an expression of regret and remorse to me  
(you of course distorted my comment into a claim that Obama apolgized  
to the police, which he did not and need not have done):
Late today, Gates' attorney, Charles Ogletree, told ABC News that his  
client was "relieved and excited" by the president's telephone outreach.

"It's going to bring together not only the parties to this particular  
episode but a larger community dialogue about how citizens and police  
can have more productive and effective exchanges," Ogletree said.

Representatives of Sgt. James Crowley released a statement saying  
Crowley was "profoundly grateful" for the phone call.

"It is clear to us from this conversation that the president respects  
police officers and the often difficult and dangerous situations we  
face on a daily basis. We appreciate his sincere interest and  
willingness to reconsider his remarks about the Cambridge Police  
Department," the statement read.

... "Because this has been ratcheting up -- and I obviously helped to  
contribute ratcheting it up -- I want to make clear that in my choice  
of words, I think, I unfortunately... gave an impression that I was  
maligning the Cambridge police department or Sgt. Crowley  
specifically," the president said. "And I could've calibrated those  
words differently. And I told this to Sgt. Crowley."
