I mean. If you can authorize, excuse, and cover up murdering innocent children, surely you are in some meaningful sense evil, no?

I don't think "evil" means "of below average moral capacity." I think Barack Obama is of (significantly) above average moral capacity.

But evil is the choices we make and the harm we cause, not merely how well or poorly we compare to other people in the same circumstances.

That is exactly what I said. To faithfully execute the office of President of the United States requires one to do, and so be, evil.

Barack Obama is by some margin the least evil person to have taken the job in my lifetime. That seems indisputable.

i think this is fair. i also think he wrestled with the choices he had to make more than any president since perhaps carter.
