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.<\/p>\n<p>After TheDC made preliminary inquiries Monday to confirm Obama\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Both Politico and The Daily Beast jumped to ABC and Raddatz\u2019s defense. The Huffington Post, a liberal news outlet, joined them shortly thereafter, while calling \u201cunusual\u201d ABC\u2019s attempt to kill the story before it gained wide circulation.<\/p>\n<p>Genachowski \u2014 called \u201cJay\u201d at the time of his wedding, sources told TheDC \u2014 and Raddatz would go on to have a son together before their divorce in 1997.

That debate, between Congressman Paul Ryan and Vice President Joe Biden, will take place Thursday night at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>Carol Platt Liebau, a political commentator who was a Harvard Law Review colleague of Genachowski and Obama, wrote that \u201cdespite being a year below both men on the Review and not close personal friends with either of them,\u201d she remembered Genachowski and Raddatz\u2019s relationship as \u201cquite public\u201d during those days, and that \u201cRaddatz visited Boston frequently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Genachowski\u2019s friendship with Obama would continue through the campaign trail in 2008 and into the White House: He aggressively fundraised for Obama in 2008 as a campaign bundler, and served on the presidential transition team before winning his appointment to chair the FCC.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday evening ABC spokesman David Ford grudgingly confirmed Obama\u2019s attendance at the wedding, after shielding Raddatz in August by declining to comment when The Daily Caller first reported the story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is absurd,\u201d Ford said, in the same statement now circulated by ABC\u2019s media allies on the left.<\/p>\n<p>Obama, Ford wrote, \u201cattended their wedding over two decades ago along with nearly the entire Law Review, many of whom went onto successful careers, including some in the Bush administration,\u201d he said without providing a specific number of Harvard Law Review employees to verify the statement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21037\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21037\" style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2012\/10\/Julius-Genachowski-Chairman-FCC-Appointed-by-Obama-June-29-2009.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21037\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2012\/10\/Julius-Genachowski-Chairman-FCC-Appointed-by-Obama-June-29-2009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"293\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21037\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Groom &#8211; Julius Genachowski, Current Chairman of the FCC &#8211; Appointed by Obama June 29, 2009 &#8211; says his religion is Judism.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country. Wake up and help stop it!","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/author\/dcalvin"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21032"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21538,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21032\/revisions\/21538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
