This was so great, I have to post it.
I agree with every word, except I would have added in commentary about the crimes against humanity that are the Iraq War, The Lack of Response to Hurricane Katrina, and the Death of our Environment.
Pink is AWESOME.
"Dear Mr. President"
(Pink feat. Indigo Girls)
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
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to Hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?
Let me tell you about hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you about hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you about hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you about hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing about hard work
Hard work
Hard work
How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you?
Thank God for 2008.
Did you know?
During the Clinton Administration:
Record budget deficits became record surpluses, 22 million new jobs were created, unemployment and core inflation were at their lowest levels in more than 30 years, and America had longest economic expansion in our history.
Hmm.
In four years, Bush managed to turn worldwise Goodwill toward the U.S. (9/11 Sympathy) into disdain and hatred (Warmongering and Greed doesn't appeal to anyone, Jackass!)
Well. Anyway. We all know I'm a Liberal. I could be more objective if Bush and Cheney weren't such obvious disasters for our nation. Damn me for having intelligence. ;)
Have a great day, All.
