here is the RW playing the ref again--faux outrage at the fact that Obama went to Raddatz's 1991 wedding. If anything, the fact that Obama was a friend of the man Raddatz married, not her, should make the left question whether whether she had a conflict of interest, since the couple divorced in 1997!
So ludicrous. So, so ludicrous.
Right outraged Obama attended VP debate moderator's wedding

ABC News confirmed on Wednesday that President Obama was a guest at the 1991 wedding of ABC senior foreign affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz, who is set to moderate the vice presidential debate on Thursday night.
The news, which was first reported by the conservative website The Daily Caller, prompted howls of disapproval from conservatives, who questioned whether Raddatz will be a neutral moderator.
In a statement, an ABC spokesman called accusations that Raddatz has a conflict of interest "absurd." There is no evidence that Obama and Raddatz are close, but the president is friends with her now-ex-husband, Julius Genachowski.
Genachowski was a classmate with Obama at Harvard Law School, and both worked on the Harvard Law Review. Genachowski advised Obama during his 2008 presidential run, and now chairs the Federal Communications Commission.
Genachowski and Raddatz had a son together but divorced in 1997. They have both re-married.
