He sees things as black and white and has no feeling for nuance, and I don't think he has the patience to try to understand complicated systems. He needs to have situations broken into familiar, easily understood narratives, which leads to poor understanding of the larger situation and therefore poor decisions and poor outcomes.
However, in my more cynical moments I wouldn't put it past him to just be engineering a massive wealth-grab for him and his buds.

The one thing that I might add to lurkette's insightful observation is that I believe Bush to be a puppet, manipulated by special interests and his so called advisors. The President is only as good as those that he surrounds himself with. If you're looking for evil...I'd start there.
