it doesn't reflect poor judgement, in that Obamma is a black man with political aspirations.
he knew the kind of church he was joining.
and he knew the kind of 'street cred' it would give him in the black community.
afterall, he didn't exactly grow up poor in the hood.
he needed a church and a pastor like this to use as a reference in case he was ever attacked for not being 'black' enough.

the problem of course is that, things that make you very popular with one group (black voters), can make you very unpopular with other groups (white voters).
right or wrong, Rev. Wright is a racial flame-thrower.

so 'no' , not bad judgement going to this church, becaue if he didn't, we probably wouldn't even know who he is.
