He deserves little respect, thinking about the misery of the 30s.

My father lived through the depression in New York City. Believe me, he had NO LOVE for FDR or much of government. Many immigrants lived in complete squalor, warehouses in stinking,filthy ghettos. At least he managed because when you're already poor a depresssion doesn't affect you much. And absolutely my father remembers how FDR didn't sneeze at locking up Americans of Japanese descent while the Germans on Long Island held nazi party rallies.

Oh well... that's history. FDR is dead and unfortunately my dad is too. I used to believe that thinking Klintoon was hands down the worst president ever was being sarcastic till I saw the unemployment figures.
