    Cheney might get a reaction of glee for some upon his death, and to a lesser extent maybe Bush Jr.

The sad thing is, I know enough people that would cheer if President Obama died.

Disagree with some one politically? great! but in my opinion, cheering anyone's death shows shallow character. You could argue that Hitler, Stalin, Bin Laden and their ilk could be cheered... but even then, I think I would just be quietly glad that they were no longer causing oppression and death on a massive scale... no cheering required. At least certainly not from some dude on a computer in another country. Tough to say since I haven't had to live under that oppressive of a thumb.
