I wonder - he is such a clever person! No other american politician would be so popular giving the restrictions of freedom for the american people he achieved. Dedications may sound odd today but they are still in use. One wouldn't call a piece "Mr. Bush's Midnight" but would rather write a dedication as it was also popular in the renaissance. And it's rather unusual to adress a piece of music to a politician. Actually politicians doesn't seem to support music any longer ...
