| 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.

This is the tip of the iceberg. There is widespread collusion between the media and the Democrat Party. It goes back a long way and it's worse than ever.

It's possible this might work in our favor - because maybe Martha will bend over backwards to appear fair to our side.

It's perfectly shocking that collusion is going on among members of the media and government. Radditz cozy with democrat political figures? Ha ha. But seriously, I think the issue is moot. Biden is beyond any help the media could ever give him. The media even failed to prop up the One, so how can 'lil 'ole Martha save Joe, especially with this info. out there. Unless J.B. gets a brain transplant between now and the debate, I'm going with Ryan, and even then...

Poster 5, I disagree. It puts spotlight on lefty raddatz. She may make an effort to make it look fair to avoid criticism from GOP. This story, which abc tried to bury, also adds evidence to GOP narrative regarding overwhelming media bias, and, as poster 1 noted, the "widespread collusion" between democrats and media whores.

A "silly distraction"...I think not! I've attended several weddings 20 plus years ago and I still have minimal if not nominal contact with those people. Even worse for PurpleLipps is that this Raddish broad's husband - some Genachowski??? - is a big friend of PurpleLipps. I believe that he even is in some appointed position. So chalking this up to just some silly distraction is to our peril. Rice Prius, John Boner, and how about that other supreme idiot Mitchell McClownal of the Senate should be booming this across the airwaves NON STOP until and through Thursday. This is the reason that I DO NOT give to the RNC. It's the constant sound of crickets whenever there is something as significant as this.

The mashie has it right. She can't sucker punch Ryan with any questions and if for some reason Biden exceeds modest expectations, the story still becomes media cheerleading, not VP competency.
And to bring it out before, not after the debate, nice!
Kudos to the negative ops people in the Romney camp for catching this and delivering it at the right time.

And simply - Why didn't the Republicans insist on a more balanced set of moderators?
Bringing this association out into the open may encourage the moderator to be a bit more honest and objective. That's a weak maybe. And I have to agree that to the on this point regarding a distant association will seem petty.

We all know about the incestuous relationship between Obama-Democrats and the Big Media (BM). The alternative media's most important duty is to point out the nexus between the Evil Party and its "professional" cheering section in the press. With luck we can get rid of the Won and cripple the BM. (My thanks to Dr. Wheeler for that moniker.)

Paul Ryan: That is a preposterous...
Raddatz: [in a loud voice] LALALA NANANA etc.
Raddatz: Mr. Vice President, of course you realize how jealous we all are of your position so close to the heavenly one.
Biden: Bla Bla Bla [for 5 minutes]
Raddatz: How fascinating, please go on, Mr. Vice President. If you don't mind, I would love to touch you or at least grovel at your feet.

Twenty-nine current or former Harper students have been shot in the last year, eight of them fatally, her office said. The school is in the West Englewood neighborhood.

NORFOLK, Va.— A top general says federal budget cuts that will ground one-third of the U.S. Air Force´s active-duty force of combat planes including fighters and bombers means "accepting the risk that combat airpower may not be ready to respond immediately to new contingencies as they occur."Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, issued the warning Tuesday as the Pentagon braces for more effects of the automatic spending cuts triggered by the lack of a budget agreement in Washington.

It´s difficult to imagine Conservative activists behaving like the people who celebrated Margaret Thatcher´s death in Glasgow and Brixton. That´s partly because it´s hard to think of any Left-wing leader who had as powerful an effect on the country as she did. But, still, between them, Harold Wilson and Jim Callaghan – with quite a lot of help from Edward Heath – led to a disastrous decline in British fortunes in the 1970s,

House Republican leaders on Wednesday criticized President Obama for conditioning the entitlement reforms in his budget on GOP support for higher taxes. While they said Obama “deserves some credit” for including entitlement reforms in his spending blueprint, they said the president shouldn’t hold the plan “hostage” in the debate over tax revenues. “While the president has backtracked on some of his entitlement reforms that were in conversations that we had a year and a half ago, he does deserve some credit for come incremental entitlement reforms that he has outlined in his budget,” Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters Wednesday

The U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday said it will delay a cost-cutting plan to end Saturday mail delivery, following congressional action that blocked the effort. Congress passed a temporary federal spending bill last month including language that prevents the agency -- which lost $15.9 billion last year -- from going to a Monday-to-Friday mail delivery schedule. The agency, which wanted to begin the new schedule Aug. 5, said the decision was made Tuesday by its board of governors. “By including restrictive language in the Continuing Resolution, Congress has prohibited implementation of a new national delivery schedule,”

President Obama´s budget plan would increase taxes by $580 billion over the next decade, but it relies on many proposals that have been repeatedly rejected by Congress. Some were rejected as recently as January, when Congress voted to make permanent a series of tax cuts first enacted under President George W. Bush. Among them, a proposal to limit itemized deductions for high-income families. One new proposal is a 94 cents-a-pack increase in the cigarette tax. The tax would raise an estimated $78 billion over the next decade to pay for early childhood education.

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible?

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.

Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
