Obama is no FDR.

The GOP now controls the House, will retake the Senate and controls most State Governments.

Such was not the case in 1932-44.

When the GOP made a strong comeback in the Congressional elections in 1938, unseating many New Dealers, the New Deal was over and FDR switched to foreign policy.

The War kept FDR in power after that.

Obama is no FDR.

That's true.

And the "silent majority" is smarter this time around.

The GOP now controls the House, will retake the Senate and controls most State Governments.

Dunno about that. Last week's elections didn't bode well for the GOP. I doubt they'll take the Senate, and the 'Tea Party Revolution' seems to be over.

You are right, but Bob Dole said FDR was “my hero” even though Dole in 1976 attacked “Democrat wars.” Our little Republican candidates nearly always get it wrong, or do shortly after taking office.
