“Dear Mr. President” from the album “I’m Not Dead” by Pink and the Indigo Girls in 2005, was a song about Bush’s administration and terms in office, including the Iraq War. This song was effectively an open letter from Pink to George W. Bush, who was President when this song was released.. It criticizes several areas of Bush’s administration, including the war in the middle-east and the failed “No Child Left Behind” Act.
"How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?"
How can he sleep peacefully while the mothers have no chance to say goodbye to their sons that were sent to a meaningless war."Let me tell you 'bout hard work"
"Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away"
The specific example is an issue that Bush didn’t do enough to solve: The destruction caused by the wars he started in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"How do you sleep at night?"
Pink is asking how Mr President slept at night knowing about all the bad he has done for this world.
