ABC News scrambles to cover up Barack Obama’s attendance at VP debate moderator’s wedding
President Barack Obama was a guest at the 1991 wedding of ABC senior foreign correspondent and vice presidential debate moderator Martha Raddatz, The Daily Caller has learned. Obama and groom Julius Genachowski, whom Obama would later tap to head the Federal Communications Commission, were Harvard Law School classmates at the time and members of the Harvard Law Review.
After TheDC made preliminary inquiries Monday to confirm Obama’s attendance at the wedding, ABC leaked a pre-emptive statement to liberal-leaning news outlets including Politico and The Daily Beast Tuesday, revealing what may have been internal network pressure felt just days before Raddatz was scheduled to moderate the one and only vice-presidential debate Thursday night.
Both Politico and The Daily Beast jumped to ABC and Raddatz’s defense. The Huffington Post, another liberal news outlet, joined them shortly thereafter, while calling “unusual” ABC’s attempt to kill the story before it gained wide circulation.

The only reason I will watch the debate is so that I can laugh at the gaff prone plagiarist.

It’s not like she wrote a book about how wonderful he is.

Even with a stacked deck, having Biden on stage with a mic and no handler is going to be a solid trouncing for the obumbles regime. Ryan is going to pull every plug from Ol’ Joe’s head and deflate obumbles chances even more. Hell, have Michael Moore, Chris Matthews, Rancid Mancow and Bob Beckel as moderators and Ryan STILL wins this one handily. Still shady, sneaky, and dirty for the administration to pull this but overall won’t win them any points.

Do they really think that Ryan won’t bring up her relationship with Obama the instant she tries to pull some blatantly biased crap?

Joe has a short fuse and no self control. He will probably drown in his own hatred.

This administration has more cover-ups than a blanket factory.

I would be shocked if they found a moderator that wasn’t a filthy lefty……

I love the silly smirk he gets on that ugly mugg when he’s been bitch slapped. If the Sarahcuda could bring that smirk out, you can imagine what Ryan’s going to do to the retard.
“C’mon Chuck, stand up and take a bow!”

There was a time when a person in Martha Raddatz’ shoes would excuse herself from moderating due to comflict of interest.

@Carlos — Those days are long past. Now, it’s the ends justifies the means.

This is probably not an issue since I’m sure Obama gave her a shitty wedding gift.
Since this was pre-iPod, I’m guessing a knock-off Walkman loaded with a cassette tape of his college speeches.
