George W. Bush.
He let himself be a stooge for Karl Rove, allowing a Party Boss to be a fourth branch of government contrary to the Constitution, and promoting the perverse "majority of a majority" system in which those who vote "wrong" get cheated. He bungled the response to Hurricane Katrina. Surely he signed off on the outing of Valerie Plame Wilson.
He lied about the casus belli against Saddam Hussein. He enabled abuse of prisoners in prisons under US supervision and promoted a concept called "extraordinary rendition" that allowed those who ended up in American custody to be sent to countries in which they would be tortured. He played word games to befuddle people. He promoted a speculative boom that could only go bust. Not since Herbert Hoover has any President been so thoroughly repudiated so quickly and completely -- and Hoover at least had a moral compass.
Has anyone noticed what a "non-person" he has become since his term of office expired?
