Conflict of Interest? Barack Obama attended the wedding of Martha Raddatz, who is moderating the Vice Presidential Debate tomorrow...

How is this okay?  
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.

So it was not disclosed until yesterday?   


Update:  
Martha Raddatz likes to call attention to herself, rather than just trying to get the candidates to debate.  Great.  Why not get Chris Matthews to moderate?
