FDR took a depression

Agreed.

I am in no way defending Roosevelt's actions during his first two terms. His policies were a disaster for the country and caused the second depression of the late 30's after a recovery period had started.

My issue with the original poster was the statement that FDR "caused the depression". That is not a correct statement, even if we are now quibbling over "depression" vs. "great depression". Either way it is termed, it started in 1929.
