Obama Says Wright is Wrong

Barack Obama finally speaks about his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and the incendiary things he's been saying. I guess that qualifies as a "reject and denounce" that Hillary Clinton might even approve of.
Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at
issue.

Wirght is still a part Obama's campaign. That is not a total rejection.
