Bush out on the most controversial issues of his tenure. She has her beliefs, you have yours, and just like any other human, Mr. Bush does also. Whiskey, cocaine, abortion, NCLB, and LGBT rights are only a handful of the issues of G.W. Bush’s tenure. They are what Pink is extremely passionate about and what most of America is passionate about, no matter how they view it. “Dear Mr. President” from a philosophical standpoint focuses on statements as values and criticisms of life.
