The full statement reads:
It’s unfortunate that we’re living in a time where just about every joke can be misconstrued to cause offense to someone.
To the good people of Nigeria - a beautiful nation where my wife lived
briefly as the child of missionaries - no offense was intended.
I am fully appreciative of the range of mutual economic and security
interests that make Nigeria an important friend to the United States.
And even to those few unscrupulous email scammers who were the subject
of the joke, I apologize to you for the unfair comparison to the
utterly dysfunctional Obamacare website.
