FDR’s choice of Henry Wallace as the VP for his third term was among his most questionable choices and one he, thankfully, was able to correct with the selection of Truman. Had Wallace been VP when FDR died, the US would have been in dire straits and the future would have been much different.

Infrastructure projects, which the president continues to tout, never seem to get built. He's been talking about dredging the port of Charleston, for example, to accommodate the big container ships coming in when the Panama Canal is widened. Maybe he thought Charleston was on the Gulf of Mexico and couldn't find it...

It also helped Roosevelt to start with a House split 316-117 in favor of the Democrats with it getting to 347-88 by 1937. In the Senate the Republican count got down to 16. As lily-livered as our current crop of Republicans are, just imagine if there were only about 1/3 as many.

Somehow, Michael Barone, who is usually a very insightful analyst, forgets to mention the HUGE congressional edge the Democrats had under FDR until the 1938 Republican sweep. It’s much easier to pass large-scale government programs when you don’t have to convince Congress to go along. Obama not only is no FDR, he’s not even Jimmy Carter; and that says a lot.

The flaw in this article is that it assumes Obummer is calling the shots. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
To: Kaslin
Given his performance so far, just imagine the damage he could do if he actually knew ‘how to get things done’.
Let’s all pray he never learns.

Obama has made some high-quality appointments?
Possibly that is true, but no names come to mind.

scratching my head here...not sure who I hate the least...Obama or Roosevelt.
To: Kaslin
Thank God Obama isn’t as effective as that slimebag FDR, our nation would be toast.

Not Michael Barone’s best article. I’m not sure how well FDR’s appointments stood up to say, Truman’s or Eisenhower’s (or Reagan’s for that matter).
