This goes to the heart of the article. Nixon, among others, is mentioned but they point out that his presidency had some redeeming features (for instance his opening of dialogue between China and the US). In W's case though its a sea of bad: the blackening of America's image as a champion of human rights with the Abu Ghraib scandal and the ongoing controversy surrounding Gitmo; the domestic spying controversy; the failing war in Iraq; the massive government spending and record deficits at home; the isolation resulting from the clash and bickering between the US government and staunch allies France and Germany (among many others); and on and on.
