The Colvin Report: Obama Denounces Preacher's Remarks

After the widespread publication of the recent controversy, which I first addressed several weeks ago when it was being ignored by the main stream media, Obama has come out to publicly denounce the statements from his spiritual advisor.

"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 Reverend Wright that are at issue."

My questions is, when you chose to go to this church for 20 years, is denouncing his continual attitude in wake of controversy really good enough?

There has to be another church in Chicago that Obama could have went to.

But he did not attend another church, he went to this church under this preacher for 20 years. Rev. Wright married Obama and Michelle and he baptized their children. Obama has spoken candidly about his christian faith, his involvement in the church, and close relationship with Rev. Wright; he had nothing negative to say until recently.

Maybe I'm a critic, but his relationship with his church just doesn't sit right with me. Fair is fair, bash McCain for his evangelicals, but at least they are proud to be American's.
