OK, I watched the video. So who the F am I to judge what the US President does?; and who is she?

I like PINK too, but she should stay out of politics and stick to living her loser lifestyle.

I think the only person qualified to judge is one that's actually walked in his shoes, and those are some big shoes to fill, God Bless him.

Actually, since he's an elected, civil servant, who's job is to run the country
Anybody is qualified to judge for himself if the president did what he has to do from one's own perspective, and musicians, and artists have always been there to provide a voice for the alternative opinions.
That's a major part of your constitution Rob... If you don't like that, then you pretty much agree with the likes of Ahmedinijad, Kim Il Young, and those like it

Blind trust in the governement, of which the President is the ultimate symbol, and not speaking up is dangerous, WW2 Germany is a perfect example of that...
Hitler also filled big shoes and as it turns out, more people should have bothered to speak up and disagree.
Instead they followed him like sheep, and in the end said "wir haben das nicht gewust" (We didn't know), a meaningless excuse in the light of all the atrocities.

If you really think that nobody can judge but another president, then either you are saying he does not need to account for anything he does ,
or that he should answer to a higher authority, like a world court where all the worlds leaders judge eachother...

Yet i'm sure you will feel that both are unacceptable options

Whoa! That's not what I was saying at all Stijn? First, it's not MY constitution, I'm Canadian. Second, PINK is a wonderful artist, but not a role figure that has any right to place judgement against a man that was/is the President of the United States; period. She has no idea what she is talking about;...... "how can you sleep Mr. President?" What a pile of crap.

Whether I agree with the President of the United States or not; there's one thing for sure, I respect him and their Country! Men and Women are giving their lives for their Countries and this gal sings a song of total disrespect for the leadership of one of the Worlds greatest Countries, and from within. I say shame on her, do something more constructive and creative with your God given talents.

Her own father is a war vet, a man that layed his life at risk for his Country.

If it were leadership I would agree with you, but it has not been that. I love America and presumably so does she. But I'm not required to like, or even respect, the massive damage George W. Bush has done to that fine country. If you think Americans are required to respect someone like George W. Bush, then you don't understand America.

The problem is, about 90% of the people who open their mouths to express an opinion of him have absolutely no clue beyond what they heard in a 10 second sound bite somewhere.
An educated person with real insight and who has done his homework has every right to judge his performance, but mush heads who don't know squat should keep their darned mouths shut. PARF is a perfect example.
What the real question we should be asking ourselves is, are we part of the 90% or part of the 10%?
Well?

I think it is a great, if misguided, protest song. She is a singer for crying out loud. If she were in the White House there would be far more dead Americans and others. But she is a singer in a free land.
