Jake Tapper Tosses Softballs to Clinton, ABC Skips Obama's Bad Week at the Supreme Court

Good Morning America offered another typical softball session with Bill Clinton on Monday to promote his latest Global Initiative meeting, but since using George Stephanopoulos might seem too obvious, they sent normally aggressive Jake Tapper to lob the softballs. Oddly, the questions that might actually be defined as news were edited out of the ABC program and
left to a much smaller audience of political junkies on Tapper's Political Punch blog."

Instead of the program featuring questions about Travon Martin or the Supreme Court, Tapper highlighted the "long, bruising" Republican presidential primary and compared it to Clinton's 1992 campaign: "You turned it around. Can [Romney]?" An ABC graphic trumpeted, "Bill Clinton: Romney Can't Win." Clinton piously asserted that his presidential campaign endured "on long character attack." Of course, Tapper had no follow-up or query about Clinton's actual character issues.
