What did Sen. Joe Biden say about Sen.Obama

Joe Biden is the Senator from Delaware and it is rumored that he is seeking to run for the Democratic nomination for President against two of his colleagues Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama. But one of his quotes has made the news in recent days...

Mr. Biden is equally skeptical—albeit in a slightly more backhanded way—about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
From the New York Observer.

Woah now!!! Would this be considered something of an insult or perhaps downplaying of Obama's merits. Let me pose this question to you. Would it matter if these comments were made by a Republican? I hope that it wouldn't and that Biden might suffer for it, although there is a good chance that it might not.
