Mmmmmm while I would accept the title “least bad”, I would absolutely not call him my favorite - or even the objectively “best” president. He ended up being a grave disappointment, largely due to the fact that he ultimately didn’t have the political will to stand up to the DNC establishment, corporate interests, and neoliberal dogma. In fact, one might go so far as to say that he essentially ended up as a neoliberal corporatist.
