In her song, "Dear Mr. President" P!NK focuses on criticizing the President of the United States and all other politicians as well. The song suggests that the President and all other politicians are simply working for themselves, and not for others.
"Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly."
These lyrics are very deep because the President is looked at as better then the rest of people on earth, and that anything he says is the most important. P!NK single handedly critiques the President by saying "How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?". The song came out while Bush was still President and he refused to speak to P!NK when he asked about it. Bush became blamed for the economy, and even some blamed him for the terrorist attacks of 9/11. P!NK goes against everything Bush pushed for in her song, and became an anarchist because of it.
