Kennedy Jr. did start to get into politics before he died. He had noted $19,000 according to FEC records from 1980-1999 to Democratic causes. He also founded the "political" magazine George before his death. Of course some critics panned the magazine for not taking politics seriously enough. Caroline Kennedy may be trying to achieve what her brother was not allowed to achieve. businessMon, 05 Jan 2009 09:59:22 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2009/01/05/Is-Caroline-Kennedy-Honoring-Her-Brother-John-by-Seeking-US-Senate-Seat-2959.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2009/01/02/-Barack-Obama-Taps-High-Ranking-Officeholders-for-Cabinet-Posts-2872.htmThis is just a list of current and former officeholders who hope to be confirmed. This is not a list of all cabinet positions. If I forgot someone again I apologize. I think it is an impressive group of talent with a fairly diverse set of views. Maybe the cabinet really wasn’t quite the team of rivals that some pundits were predicting.businessFri, 02 Jan 2009 04:02:34 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2009/01/02/-Barack-Obama-Taps-High-Ranking-Officeholders-for-Cabinet-Posts-2872.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/22/Who-Should-Barack-Fill-Obamas-US-Senate-Seat-2846.htmThere are a number of candidates who have been mentioned in the process of filling Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat. There is still plenty of talk about the matter with or without the subsequent scandal. This articles deals with the possibility that a special election will be called in Illinois.

In order to avert this crisis, the Big 3 have long been working to get financial bailouts from the government, with requests for billions of dollars in order to ride out the recession in America that is only threatening to get worse instead of better come 2009.businessFri, 19 Dec 2008 07:05:02 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/19/A-Look-On-Auto-Industry-Bail-Out--2863.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/19/The-Real-Motivating-Factor-Money-2389.htmMoney as the real motivating factor has no other equivalence. As we earn it or spend it in our day to day life, it is only transferred from one’s hands to the other there by bringing a product or service as the worth of it. This constitutes the entire business system and real monetization.businessFri, 19 Dec 2008 06:57:29 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/19/The-Real-Motivating-Factor-Money-2389.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/18/Troops-to-Teachers-Why-No-Bailout-2885.htmArticle about a little known or financially supported government program to assist veterans and troops to become teachers and get assistance for this college program. In this day of bailouts galore why doesn’t our government support or even advertise it?

Jesse Jackson Jr. may or may be so lucky. Jackson has already begun to hire extra attorneys for the possible legal battles ahead. I suspect this whole thing will lead to a change in the ability of Illinois Governors to fill vacancies to the U.S. Senate, just a hunch. businessFri, 12 Dec 2008 05:35:36 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/12/Rod-Blagojevich-Taking-down-Jesse-Jackson-Jr-Barack-Obama-with-Him-2828.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/11/Will-Caroline-Kennedy-Go-To-the-US-Senate-2628.htmIt looks like a foregone conclusion that Hillary Clinton will be confirmed as Secretary of State. Wild card names that have been thrown out there to replace her in the U.S. Senate include Caroline or Robert Kennedy Jr. Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi can also be thrown in there. Whoever Gov. David Paterson selects he will have taken many different things under consideration.businessThu, 11 Dec 2008 05:30:46 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/11/Will-Caroline-Kennedy-Go-To-the-US-Senate-2628.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/10/Black-Friday-Shopping-Disaster-in-USA-2647.htmDying for a bargain? Not the best way to start off the holiday season. Some shoppers become so obsessed with saving a few bucks that the lives of their fellow bargain hunters take a back seat to their need for conspicuous consumption. Over the years Black Friday has taken on an ominous meaning for some families. Just miles from where I sit now, several people shopped with bloody noses, a black eye and bruised shins. Bullets have flown at the local Wal-Mart and Kmart shoppers have had to duck fists when the last of the Bratz dolls were in question. businessWed, 10 Dec 2008 09:15:52 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/10/Black-Friday-Shopping-Disaster-in-USA-2647.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/08/OJ-Says-He-is-Sorry-2699.htmOJ Simpson tried to sway the judge with his sad look and quiet voice. Did it work? No, of course not. Did he finally get what he deserved? He said he was sorry, sorry for everything. Reading between the lines - does everything include double murder?businessMon, 08 Dec 2008 06:54:44 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/08/OJ-Says-He-is-Sorry-2699.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/08/Smokers-Rights-in-USA-2660.htmThe issue of smoking bans is one that is dividing the country along the lines of personal rights vs. the rights of the majority. Barack Obama does not yet have a firm policy on the issue yet, preferring to leave it to local authorities for the time being and only stepping in if the local legislation ’proves inadequate’. Whether this is because he himself is an occasional smoker or because of an honest preference to leave such matters up to the cities of his country is always up for debate. For the time being, he’s leaving well enough alone and letting the individual cities and states handle smoking ban issues on their own. businessMon, 08 Dec 2008 05:20:16 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/08/Smokers-Rights-in-USA-2660.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/04/Barack-Obamas-Democratic-National-Committee-Chair-Selection-2658.htmPolitical fund raising is an ugly, but necessary part of the game. 2010 will be a key year for Democrats and the country. This will be the first time the voters will be able to gauge the effectiveness of the Obama agenda. Both of the major U.S. political parties will need capable leaders in order to be successful. businessThu, 04 Dec 2008 05:38:51 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/04/Barack-Obamas-Democratic-National-Committee-Chair-Selection-2658.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/03/The-Ups-and-Downs-of-Gas-Prices-2608.htmGas prices have been like elevators - up and down, up and down. Right now they are on the down route and hopefully this will last a good long time. Every day you might wonder; did the local guy drop his price again? Should I fill up today, or wait until tomorrow when it may be cheaper?businessWed, 03 Dec 2008 05:34:10 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/03/The-Ups-and-Downs-of-Gas-Prices-2608.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/03/Who-is-Rahm-Emanuel-2318.htmIs Rahm Emanuel a policy wonk or a henchman? The first term of the Obama Administration will shine plenty of light on this man that most Washington insiders already know. Emanuel is close friends with David Axelrod, the man who ran Obama’s bid for the White House. Emanuel did not formally endorse Barack Obama until after the primary due to his friendship with the Clinton family.businessWed, 03 Dec 2008 05:28:55 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/03/Who-is-Rahm-Emanuel-2318.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/11/26/Michigan-Leads-Midwest-in-Marijuana-Reform-2434.htmThe war on drugs continues. The question is who is winning? The voters are making decisions that may really rile some folks up. This battle over what is morally acceptable and not morally acceptable to do will certainly not go away ever. It sure can be fun to watch people bicker though. businessWed, 26 Nov 2008 06:41:42 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/11/26/Michigan-Leads-Midwest-in-Marijuana-Reform-2434.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/11/25/Obama-Hopes-To-Implement-Aggressive-Agenda-Build-Consensus-2442.htmThe Obama agenda genuinely does seek to bring change. The question is whether the majority of the American people will have their lives positively or negatively affected by that change. People like Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff know how to be dealmakers. The question is at what expense will it cost to get those deals done? What will be the ramifications?businessTue, 25 Nov 2008 05:29:12 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/11/25/Obama-Hopes-To-Implement-Aggressive-Agenda-Build-Consensus-2442.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/11/24/Buying-Content-for-Your-Website-2487.htmBuying content is a widely known and used method to boost your website’s keyword quality.

What about those people, however, who cannot seem to distance themselves from long-held prejudices and warped, stereotypical viewpoints? Unfortunately, some of these folks may present a danger to others, as they seek ways to vent their displeasure over their changing world.businessFri, 21 Nov 2008 06:04:28 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/11/21/Has-Obama-Election-Really-Changed-America-2465.htmhttp://www.informativepost.com/2008/11/20/Aide-to-Senator-Barbara-Boxer-Charged-With-Distributing-Child-Pornography-2461.htmBoxer did fire this person right away. Political pundits are unsure about what kind of effect this may have on her re-election bid. Boxer has been a United States Senator since 1993. By all prognosticators she is considered one of the most liberal members of that legislative body. Before serving in that upper chamber she spent ten years working in the U.S. House of Representatives. businessThu, 20 Nov 2008 05:37:25 -0800http://www.informativepost.com/2008/11/20/Aide-to-Senator-Barbara-Boxer-Charged-With-Distributing-Child-Pornography-2461.htm
