I have mixed feelings about FDR. He turned the federal government into the insatiable monster that it is today. But by golly, he was an excellent wartime president. I will give him that.
Early on FDR realized that only unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan would be acceptable. He rallied the country in that regard. No negotiated peace, as was seen in most previous wars.
Wilson, yes. I totally agree.
I can’t say much good about Obama. He could have healed the racial divide in this country. Instead he made it worse. But at least Obama didn’t start a major - and quite unnecessary war - like Bush II did.
It’s also worth noting that Bush’s invasion of Iraq set off the massive Muslim foot invasion of Europe.
Sorry for the rant. It’s probably due my trouble sleeping. And thanks for touching base!

Obama and LBJ built on the legacy of FDR. LBJ was corrupt from the getgo. and Obama’s sympathies were with homosexuals and Moslems. Biden/Harris are fitting heirs of those two.
The Bushes were far to insulated from the peasants. Romney would have fit right in with them. Trump understands the elite and the so called middle class. .
