"......Was Franklin D. Roosevelt a Good President?......"

No. One of the things he is supposedly remembered for - getting us out of the Depression, he failed miserably at. It took a world war to get the economy going again, and he had been on the job 8 years by that point in time. In addition, in trying to pull us out of the Depression he abrogated and nullified many of the principal structures of our system of government and economy, unleashing a collectivist virus that, to this day, chronically infects us.

.............Besides, he couldn't keep that damned wife of his shut up.

Still, you are aware that the (once popular among Republicans) Newt Gingrich is a big booster of the FDR legend.
