It meant that he was aiming high at lofty goals. Apparently, though, you're not allowed to do that as President. The ones who complain that he's done nothing won't even acknowledge that, hey, it's kinda cool to have a guy in charge who even WANTS to aim that high.
The issue is that BOTH fringes started believing he was a Socialist. The fringe on one side was pissin' their pants 'cause they thought he'd take us back to 20th century Russia, and the fringe on the other side was all "Where are the completely socialized medicine and the magically transformed political landscape and the unicorns that you explicitly said would automatically appear??"
The reality that many didn't want to see is that the President is a left-leaning centrist - neither the demon nor the angel that the fringes wanted him to be. How can a man be expected to live up to fictional expectations, created solely in the minds of the fringe constituents? In this situation, the President never had a chance to satisfy.
Abyssalin:
Yknow I think he did a good job considering what he was bloody left with, As far as i'm aware he was thrown into these problems head first, The recession, the war, the state of america's healthcare.
They're treating him as if he was the president that caused this.. It makes no sense.
Tova:
And I always figured this was done by some automatic process...

Wow. Ask, and we shall receive [all answers to the lingering forum debate]. That's rare.
Hypster:
Poor Tai. :C I keep having "omfg who do i talk to gahhh" issues, too. I'm hoping this talk ends with Angus walking out of Faye's room naked and half asleep, cuz he's heading for the bathroom or something.
Why? Because the whole date was kinda sad to me and it's looking like the next few strips are going to be a little sad too.
