SURPRISE! The VP Debate Moderator is a Personal Friend of Obama!
Gosh, how simply shocking.
In 2008 we had a VP debate moderator who was writing a book about how awesome Obama is, this time we have a VP debate moderator who invited Obama to her 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 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, a liberal news outlet, joined them shortly thereafter, while calling “unusual” ABC’s attempt to kill the story before it gained wide circulation.
I’m sure Ms. Raddatz is a completely objective journolist. Here’s a nice photo of her with some of the muppets from Sesame Street. Nothing to see here folks, move along!
UPDATE: Obama has now made Sesame Street part of his official platform.
