Personally, I think relating it to the President is a stretch. Even though I'm pretty sure Maynard doesn't like the President, he's never really done any political songs.
I think it makes more sense in reference to Jesus or some angelic figure.
"not to pull your halo down, around your neck and tug you off your cloud."
Its almost like a reverse-Christmas Carol plot, with a human being getting the chance to question God. The lyrics are almost like the conversation you would have with Jesus if you had the chance.
"I'm more than just a little curious how you're planning to go about making your amends...to the dead."
No matter how you interpret it, this song is the best on the record and one of the best i've heard from anyone, anytime.
