ABC News commentator George Stephanopoulos has a previously undisclosed connection to President Obama – the two were part of a small group at Harvard University that met for a period of three years purportedly to promote involvement with U.S. community institutions.
Participants at the research project, which took place between 1997 and 2000, included scores of individuals with ties to Obama, including several activists who were later appointed to positions in the Obama administration. Other participants were instrumental in promoting Obama’s political career.
Just yesterday, Stephanopoulos was the subject of conservative criticism for pointed questions he asked Republican presidential candidates while hosting Saturday night’s New Hampshire debate.
Stephanopoulos is best known as the chief political correspondent for ABC News and the co-anchor of the ABC morning news program, Good Morning America. He also returned last month as host of the Sunday morning news program, This Week.
Prior to joining ABC News, Stephanopoulos was a senior political adviser to the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign of Bill Clinton and later served as Clinton’s White House Communications Director for two years.
However, an overlooked detail of Stephanopoulos’ work history is his participation alongside Obama in Harvard’s Saguaro Seminars, a long-term research project aimed at significantly increasing Americans’ connectedness to one another and to community institutions.

Maybe Stephanopoulos didn't have time to prepare for the debate?

The trouble with George. (White House aide George Stephanopoulos still has clout
September 18, 1995 - MESSY AFTER-HOURS ARrests have snuffed out more than a few Washington careers. The first television reports hyping George Stephanopoulos's arrest in Georgetown last week on charges of leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a license had the ominous feel of a Wilbur Mills-style crackup. Press accounts claimed he was popping breath mints in front of the cops, and TV announcers intoned that Stephanopoulos "is free this morning after his arrest for a traffic incident last night ..." It seemed like a fitting comeuppance for someone who had, for many people, typified the arrogance and inexperience of the early Clinton administration.
He walked in there the same way Chelsea did. <<
I beg to differ!!!...both of them crawled!
Stephie comes out of the krinton WH and pretends to be a journalist. As a journalist, he pretends to be objective. Turns out, he’s biased and cozy with BO, too.
Who would have ever thought such a thing possible? The wonders of the modern age.
Schmoopie!!!
I remember that, but I think it was Judicial Watch, not Ken Starr, which is why Stephie showed up looking like a hung-over slob, and then walked out in the middle of the questioning. He didn’t take it seriously.
Steppy boy made threats to people, if they came out with some bad information. Despicable thug and proud of it, he was.
Thanks tutstar.
It’s not that he’s a hack that is news. If you read the article which is long you’ll see the connections. I don’t recall the incident you mention. What was he called up for by Starr?
