In her statement, Power said her comments "do not reflect my feelings about Sen. Clinton, whose leadership and public service I have long admired."
She said she apologizes to both Clinton and Obama.
"I should not have made these comments, and I deeply regret them. It is wrong for anyone to pursue this campaign in such negative and personal terms."
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said, "Sen. Obama decries such characterizations, which have no place in this campaign."
Burton did not reply to the Daily News when asked whether Power would continue to serve as an Obama adviser.
