Dear Mr. President (Pink song)

"Dear Mr. President" is a song recorded by American singer Pink, featuring the Indigo Girls, for her fourth studio album I'm Not Dead (2006).

The song is an open letter to the then-President of the United States, George W. Bush, criticizing several areas of his administration and terms in office, including the Iraq War, No Child Left Behind Act, opposition to same-sex marriage and LGBT rights in general, perceived lack of empathy for poor and middle-class citizens, and his drinking and drug usage in college.

A commercial success, it peaked atop the charts in Austria and Belgium, while reaching the top five in Australia, the Czech Republic, Germany and Switzerland.

The Indigo Girls tag along for moral support and, with lyrics like "How can you say, 'no child is left behind' / we're not dumb and we're not blind" or "You've come a long way, from whiskey and cocaine", you just know that if she'd made the song a few years earlier, it would have been featured in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911.

"[4] Rolling Stone's Barry Walters praises Pink for "writ[ing] a scathing letter in 'Dear Mr. President'" and "cooing righteous folk harmonies with Indigo Girls.
