The remark was referring to the catastrophes Bush is leaving behind, not nefarious intentions.
Obama was acknowledging that anyone who is President will have to be cleaning up after Bush and the Conservatives. There will be catastrophes and disasters.
And a problem is that Bush is leaving a military which is all wore out, everything deferred which could be, and a country in an economic depression.
All in all, a world of change from the one with which Bush was entrusted.
