Of course.

What's next? If someone hears controversial remarks from their preacher and waits until the end of church to leave, are you going to call them "a wimp" because they didn't get up immediately?
No.

The fact remains that Obama has unequivocally denounced the statements of Reverend Wright. It is obvious that he does not share these sentiments.
I do not believe he shares the sentiments. I am disappointed that he did not take a leadership role in the black community to counter-act the negativity coming from the pulpit at the time it was going on. Instead, he sat in church for 20 years, lending his growing prestige to Rev. Wright and letting the hatred bred by Rev. Wright seed itself and fester in others until it blew up into a political scandal during this campaign. Then, he went and made a nice speech about race.
