I've had VH1's Jump Start on for a little background noise this morning, and P!nk's video for "Dear Mr. President" just came on. (And yes, she really does spell her name like that). It's shot live at one of her concerts, with the Indigo Girls singing back-up, and the crowd goes wild for it. Here's my question for P!nk, though. What can she tell the president about hard work when it comes to being a single mom making minimum wage? What can she tell him about being homeless?
I appreciate her effort, but it doesn't really ring true coming from a globe-trotting superstar. P!nk's idea of being politically aware, according to the bio on her website, is being actively involved in PETA. I get that she gets to be a mouthpiece because of her fame, but I still don't think she can tell the president what it's like to rebuild her home after it's been bombed. Sorry, P!nk. Try again.
