“Dear Mr. President” (Updated Video)

“Dear Mr. President,” by Pink, is one of those rare music videos that stirs the soul as it tugs at our hearts. Matters not if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. Click on the highlighted words “Dear Mr. President” to watch Pink’s video.
Pink, our “politically corrected” leaders could learn a lot from you if only they’d slow their roll and listen to the voice of reason. It’s a shame the mainstream media, radio stations, and television stations refuse play a song that’s filled with so much relevancy, honesty, and truth.
Kudos to Mr. Jimmy Kimmel for letting Pink perform “Dear Mr. President” on his show.
Pink, as a sign of respect, I tip my hat to you for having the courage, the compassion, the empathy to write such a powerful, insightful, thought-provoking song for such a season as this.

I love that Pink transcends all the pop princess fluff and speaks about more in-depth matters in her lyrics.
I believe that’s one of the reasons she’s lasted when others have faded…

As a Navy Mom, I would like to take a walk with the President. I have a few questions of my own. Let us start with. Why?

Oh yeah!
We must rise up the brave, artistic souls blessed with a talent and conscience to join in toward reaching the sustainable, REALity of Peace.
I haven’t heard this song and it is definitely worthy of adding to my large protest collection.
As always I am sending my sincere wishes of health, balance and joy to you and yours.
Thank you for spreading the message!!!!!

Hi,
Couldn’t agree more. Saw Pink in concert earlier this year and she was so impressive. I think her “Dear Mr President” ballad is not just important for Americans, but also resonates with many other people. Being Australian and concerned about many of the attitudes we express on the global stage, I wish Pink could also take a walk with our head of state!! Unfortunately, he also would probably never consider such a thing!
Live in hope!

I guess I’m the minority on this issue. I have no love for the man, but this lyric typifies the overly simplified thinking that is one of the reason real problems are never addressed. Presented by a person whose moral authority is laughable.

I have never heard that song before. Thanks for sharing your insight on it. As I listened the thought came to me, that there are so many messages (verbal & not) being sent to those in higher places. All they have to do is look, it’s everywhere!. My take is that, I give them the benefit of the doubt, how do you do it all? How can they not hold their head up high when that’s what we expect of them?

Clearly I have been under a rock… I can’t believe I haven’t seen any of these videos or heard the song. It’s simply stunning. I am going to be sharing it with everyone I know. Thank you so much.
