...keeping his man-bits in her handbag. The production—for which Ne-Yo and Stargate are in large part responsible—could also use some cajones. Closer “Stop the World” is the only track that dares to throw unexpected chord changes in the mix; the rest mostly rely on multi-tracked harmonies and the 808/acoustic guitar schema from “Irreplaceable.” And they’re almost all somnolent, sad-sack ballads, too. Polow da Don contributes single “Single,” during which...
...People like a President who seems to share their passions, tastes and grievances, so McCain probably struck a chord with his obvious loathing of the "Wall Street tycoons" and backroom Washington dealmakers he holds responsible for this mess. It's his nature to see problems in terms of personal culpability; while other leaders were debating the best way to set a price for distressed debt, McCain was calling for the head of Christopher Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

One of them, a young, relatively unknown community organizer named Barack Obama, joined Trinity in the mid-1980s, finding both a spiritual home and a useful entree into Chicago's black political elite. Obama soon came to view Wright as something of a father figure. Wright ended up consecrating Obama's wedding to Michelle Robinson, baptizing the couple's children, and even provided the title to his best-selling memoir, The Audacity of Hope...
