W was not intrinsically evil; in fact, I think he was rather benign, perhaps because of and in spite of his misspent youth. He struck me as a sad figure, and I agree that he was accepting of people and situations that were not acceptable to others in the R party. But whether or not Cheney was the Dr. Evil in that administration, W was the President and must own it. Ergo, he was the worst recent president* because of the situation the country was left in after his time. It will take decades (perhaps longer) to change the perception of the US across the globe.
