"Dear Mr. President" is a song by Pink featuring the Indigo Girls, and was recorded for Pink's fourth album, I'm Not Dead. She wrote the song “Dear Mr. President,” on Martin Luther King Day in 2005 and said that the song is an open letter to the then President of the United States, George W. Bush, and that it is one of the most important songs she had written. She stated that it would never be released as a single in the United States, because it was too important to be perceived as a publicity stunt.[1] It has since been released in Europe, Australia and Canada.

So the song begins with “Dear Mr. President/ Come take a walk with me. Let’s pretend we’re just two people and/ You’re not better than me.” By stating this as an invitation Pink is directly asking the President to listen to her opinions. Through equalizing social standings, she is diminishing the respect that the President demands , Pink is stating that she will be truthful with him
(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)

Next she talk about the homeless : -According to the estimates, the homeless population has quadrupled in size in the last twenty years, while the number of beds available in shelters has fallen by approximately 57,000.
-However, since the plight of the homeless has not been a major point of contention within the Bush presidency, Pink may be referring here to those left homeless after Katrina. Bush was widely criticized for his slow reaction to the threat of the Hurricane and his delayed response to the destruction and victims.
