Conflict Of Interest? Na, Just A Great Journalist….hmmph.

Conflict Of Interest? Na, Just A Great Journalist….hmmph.

Considering the fact that Obama has anything to do with Martha Raddatz is enough to raise concerns. If the roles were reversed, don’t you think the Obambam camp would be going ape shit?

A new report by The Daily Caller is highlighting ties that President Barack Obama has to Martha Raddatz, the moderator of tomorrow’s vice presidential debate.

According to the report, Obama worked on the Harvard Law Review with Raddatz’s ex-husband, Julius Genachowski.  Genachowski was later appointed by Obama as chair of the Federal Communications Commission and invited Obama to his 1991 wedding to Raddatz – details that raise questions about a potential conflict of interest, the Daily Caller suggests.

Does this report raise legitimate concerns about Raddatz? Or is the connection too far removed to be a conflict of interest?

“We selected Martha Raddatz because she is a terrific journalist and will be a terrific moderator and we’re thrilled to have her,” Peter Eyre, an adviser to the Commission, said in a statement. “The notion that that somehow affects her ability is not something we have given a moment’s thought to.”

And Mr. Genachowski was appointed to chair the FCC? And he just happened to be a classmate of Obambam’s? I smell something don’t you….something like seasoned cronyism. These guys are good at it.
