On Wednesday, the Daily Caller <\/a>posted an article detailing some close ties between vice presidential debate moderator Martha Raddatz<\/a> and President Obama<\/a>. Among other things, President Obama was a guest at the moderator’s wedding in 1991. The article reports that Obama and groom Julius Genachowski<\/a>, whom Obama would later tap to head the Federal Communications Commission<\/a>, were Harvard Law School<\/a> classmates at the time and members of the Harvard Law Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article at the Daily Caller goes on to detail a rather close relationship between President Obama and Mr. Genachowski which has continued over the years.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Genachowski\u2019s friendship with Obama would continue through the campaign trail in 2008 and into the White House<\/a>: He aggressively fundraised for Obama in 2008 as a campaign bundler, and served on the presidential transition team<\/a> before winning his appointment to chair the FCC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It should be mentioned that Martha Raddatz and Julius Genachowski divorced and are now married to other people.<\/p>\n

I do find this a little unsettling. I think ABC<\/a> could have found a moderator without a direct connection to the President, but I am willing to watch the debate and hope that Ms. Raddatz is fair and objective.<\/p>\n
