1. I surprisingly heard this for the first time yesterday and was blown away
that I hadn't heard it before. It's evidently banned from the airwaves here. On You Tube, there are dozens of videos that people have made with photo vignettes to the music.. I've sent the link to all the republicans I know. Worldwide, the song is a phenomenon.

4. It really is. The videos she added in the background make a huge impact.
I've seen mention of her new video, but just hadn't taken the time to go to youtube until today. I'm glad I did. It's an awesome song and the videos just add to the meaning behind it.

5. We listen to her CD a lot when driving.
I still get a lump in my throat each time I hear this song.

What a shame. It speaks for us all.

9. and at the end of the song
she says something like "4 minutes of my time is all that ...... gets".

Very, very powerful song and is played quite heavily on my local commercial radio station. Every time I hear it it just gets more powerful. Protest songs are not dead yet. (slight pun)

Explain how he is gaining anything for his personel benefit in this war. The benefit for this war is freedom for us and the people of Iraq and other nations we have delivered from the hell they were living in. Remember WW2? and what we did for the Jews? The same applies here!

19. Yeah, I saw those. I swear. I cannot believe there are people in this country STILL defending that
monster. It's mind boggling. Are people really that ignorant?

12. Her collaboration with the Indigo Girls was my favorite version...
of Pink doing this haunting song, before I heard the one you've posted. While at YouTube, search "Indigo Girls Dear Mr. President" and you will find that one.

Does anyone have the Live In Wembley DVD? I'd really like to know the names of her back-up singers on this vid but can't find them anywhere. I saw her sing it with them on Jimmy Kimmel and gained a whole new appreciation of "Dear Mr. President"!

Too bad for me. She is awesome. And this is an amazingly powerful song.
