Questions Obama's judgment of character

I must agree with a recent letter, I too am amazed how willing people are to overlook facts in order to make things fit their point of view. Fact: Barak Obama does not dispute knowing Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko, to name three. Fact: while some may dispute the term 'terrorist' none can dispute that all three of these examples have been found to be less than favorable individuals. Fact: all three of these men engaged in their behavior, (sermons, stating their lack of remorse for bombings and maintaining substandard apartments) during their relationships with Barak Obama. Obama's response for all three is that "they were not the men he knew" and he denounced these men for their actions. If true, Senator Obama is able to maintain long associations and be completely oblivious of people's character and actions. I believe that displays profound lack of judgment. Or, he's lying and he knew who and what they were and just didn't care. Which one is it?
