140. Abjure


From, Piers Morgan interview with Alec Baldwin, Piers Morgan Tonight, CNN, aired on 1/25/12:

Baldwin: “Obama is responsible for stabilizing the economy. I mean, I thought -- I look at the Republican Party and I look at men who are the standard bearers of Wall Street, I mean, not that Obama is someone who has, you know, abjured Wall Street money in his -- in his campaign, but I look at these men like Romney who are just -- I mean they might as well put Romney's picture on Monopoly money.”

Abjure: renounce; repudiate
