In contrast to his predecessor, not even {his} biggest supporters would have called him especially intelligent or knowledgeable about the world.
But what marked {him} as a failure is the abiding sense that he was simply out of his depth in the White House. He loved playing poker and womanizing, but was less interested in running the country.

Many of these people made personal fortunes from taking bribes and astonished congressmen and worldly Washington journalists alike by their ignorance of the responsibilities of the offices they held.
The most egregious scandal of {his} administration involved the corrupt sale of licences to drill for oil on public lands.
