What would you say about his foresight to build hydroelectric dams like the Hoover Dam and the Grand Coulee Dam to generate enough electricity to make aluminum to build aircraft? The Hoover Dam project was perhaps started before his administration but wasn't he a big supporter of cheap electricity for this purpose?

"build hydroelectric dams like the Hoover Dam "

That is the point: some things would have been done in any case; turning over Eastern Europe to the USSR was, ahem, an idea more unique to FDR and his Communist-sympathizer advisers.
