And FDR was not president in 1952 . . . and it didn't matter”

0bama is NOT FDR.
FDR didn't leavbe the country with (an estimated $16 Trillion in debt, a lot of it owed to the Chinese), by the time he left power, like 0bama will by 2012.
FDR did not go cap in hand begging the Chinese to buy our bends so we can afford to finance our government.
NONE of FDR's New Deal bills passed with such overwhelming majority of the public, angrily against it like 0bamacare is currently hated by most Americans.
You are comparing two things that are not even close to being the same.
I don't think you have any idea of the anger that is sweeping this country right now against 0bama, Pelosi and Reid, or of the effects of the Tea Parties.

“You are comparing two things that are not even close to being the same.

FDR was a socialist and gave us socialist programs. He gave us Social Security and other programs that are clearly unconstitutional. His programs cost the US in a continued depression that lasted for 10 years.

First, I have a very good sense of the "anger that is sweeping the country." I speak at one or two liberty groups a month.

Second, actually, FDR did saddle the country, in real dollars, with every bit as big a debt as Obama has. He tripled the national debt in less than seven years.

Third, FDR put into place goon squad agencies that literally told tailors how much they could charge to sew a pair of pants, and put one in jail for charging TOO LITTLE, and told kosher chicken sellers that they had to sell tainted or sick chickens to customers, even though they didn't want to and the customers (of course) objected. FDR blatantly tried to pack the Supreme Court, tried to impose a tax of 100% (yep, that's right) on everything over $500,000 income, and used the IRS to destroy anyone who didn't go along with the New Deal.

FDR was every bit as bad as Obama, except he didn't hate the U.S. per se the way Zero does.
