He did not.
The Americans were surprised in the Philippines and at Pearl Harbor because MacArthur blundered and didn't listen to reports (he made the IDENTICAL blunder years later in Korea, to the same result), and because Admiral Kimmel did not prepare the fleet for attack.
The military leadership were lax, and that is what made the initial Japanese attack on the Americans a rout of the US. FDR wasn't derelict in his duties, MacArthur and Kimmel were derelict in theirs.
