...President-elect's political universe overlaps uncomfortably with the Illinois governor's seamy world of swagger, cussing and kickbacks. Obama's new chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, once boasted that he and Obama had worked closely with Blagojevich on his 2002 election, which was billed as a reformist campaign - a claim that Obama aides deny and Emanuel has since retracted as "wrong." As recently as 2006, Obama told a reporter he had concerns about allegations of corruption involving state Democrats, though he added that he would be "happy" to work to support the governor's re-election...
...comprehensive look at all different aspects of the way media affects children. And the bottom line is that it can have a significant impact in the areas we looked at: childhood obesity, tobacco use, sexual behavior, drug use, alcohol use, low academic achievement and ADHD. [Lead researcher] Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel and his team looked at thousands of studies, and then picked the 173 best. In the areas that were graded high-obesity, drug use and sexual behavior-it was clear that media was a contributing factor to negative outcomes in those three categories...
Zeke [Dr. Emanuel] and the research team decided that there was a voluminous amount of studies that focus solely on media and violence. So they wanted to stay away from that.

But it is a significant contributing factor. That's different from saying...
Obviously, Zeke's brother [President-elect Barack Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel] will have a strong position in the incoming Administration. And I am optimistic that you'll see a renewed emphasis, from the White House on down, on media, technology and kids. In that sense, I'm very hopeful that Barack and Michelle Obama will be parents-in-chief and role models-in-chief for our country. Barack talked about it repeatedly through his campaign-turning off the TV, turning off the video games, doing your homework, talking with your kids...
...intervention as part of the ongoing economic crisis. This question includes, but is not limited to, the following: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG and Washington Mutual.Though the question seems ominous in nature, answering "yes" may not necessarily be a deal breaker. Obama's pick for chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors for Freddie Mac at the time of its downfall. These people need a job somewhere...
