John Carey's newest hit, "Mr. White House" sheds light on several aspects of the political mood of the day. It is a biting political song with a long-overdue conversation about joblessness, war and U.S. foreign policy. It ingenuity addresses the number of unemployed persons in the United States (7.6 million, U.S. Department of Labor, April 2008). "Mr. White House” also tackles other contemporary crises that are destabilizing U.S. neighborhoods and destroying families, such as the rising number of foreclosures, media manipulation/influence, and youthful apathy. With its unabashedly passionate advocacy for peace and love, "Mr. White House" is much more than a call for political democracy, but rather a reflection on the need to create a new United States able to acknowledge the past while moving into a new national identity. The lyrics of the hit song are a practical appeal to both current government officials as well as government officials of the future. "Mr. White House" is a must buy for anyone who understands what real musical genius sounds like. Purchase it soon and listen to it often.
