In a new interview for the April edition of Playboy, Cheney repeatedly tore into Obama on a whole range of issues, from the racially-charged riots in Ferguson, Missouri, to foreign policy.

“I look at Barack Obama and I see the worst president of my lifetime, without question,” Cheney told journalist James Rosen. “I used to have significant criticism of Jimmy Carter, but compared to Obama and the damage he’s doing — it’s a real tragedy.”

On the cover, the interview is billed as “A FIERY DISCUSSION WITH THE MOST POWERFUL VICE PRESIDENT IN HISTORY” next to a photo of 23-year-old rapper Azealia Banks. Cheney is well known for his unusually active role in shaping the administration of former President George W. Bush, Obama’s predecessor.
