Roosevelt is our greatest President. Obama is not even a shadow of that greatness. He’s looking to be a one termer and not because he’s a Democrat.
Please. All other presidents are judged by their first two terms in office; if you judge FDR that way he is the man who failed to prevent WWII and failed to stop - indeed, who added to - the Great Depression.Before you say that no one could have prevented WWII, realize that Winston Churchill was telling anyone who would listen that Hitler had to be stopped, years and years before WWII. But he wasn't in power, and those who were must bear the shame that they were not as prescient as Churchill.
Compare that two-term performance to that of Ronald Reagan, who got the country going again and whipped inflation (after Carter's stagflation) subdued the energy crisis, and transcended communism. Roosevelt's performance pales in comparison.FDR's real monument is the 22nd Amendment forbidding presidents to run for a third term. Which only Roosevelt ever did.
For all his other faults, at least FDR fought WWII to win.
