Face Bigelow #82 - Asleep At The Wheel



This comic is entirely unfair. It does express my own frustration with the last 8 years, but it is still unfair. I know W has worked hard, it just doesn't seem like he's at all connected with the American people. We are in the middle of a huge melt down in the economy and I don't think he's spoken about it publicly more than once. It just seems like he's asleep at the wheel. It took forever to realize that Rumsfeld was the problem with Iraq and now Afghanistan is going down hill and it's just stay the course even if the course is headed for an iceberg. Very disappointing. I'll be the first one to support a sitting president no matter who it is and even though I wrote letters against going to war in Iraq I still supported the decision when it happened. When everyone was saying we should pull out I was in support of staying. It is our responsiblity to leave Iraq in a responsible manner. We've caused enough suffering and we don't need to make it worse. Enough rambling, this is a good expression of my frustation.

Transcript:
Big: Zzzzzzz...
Victor: George... George.... Time to wake up...
Big: Huh?... Huh?... Who's there?...
Victor: Barack is at the door. It's time to wake up. Your second term is almost over...
Big: Oh. Okay. What happened?
Victor: Not much. Karl and Dick have been running the place.
Big: That's good. How'd we do?
Victor: Karl pulled a Skilling and abandoned ship just before the biggest crash. Otherwise we've got the worst unemployment since your father left office. You'll probably have that great legacy you wanted...
