Obviously I am not going to endorse FDR's big government policies as they are an anathema to my ideological view. However, the biggest job for a President is to defend the country when attacked. Roosevelt did that and more.

Your criticisms of FDR reek of Monday morning quarterbacking. They remind me when intellectual leftists criticize the founding fathers for not abolishing slavery. Most didn't like the practice but they didn't know what to do about.

FDR needed the Soviets cooperation to get rid of Hitler and defeat Japan. He achieved that goal. To turn on an "ally" after a brutal war was not advisable at the time.
