I don't remember them, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did, because Nixon was a big government Republican. And he didn't have to study history to emulate Roosevelt because he himself lived through the Roosevelt era.
But that's beside the point I was making, namely that there is a lot of Roosevelt redux in the Obama era, primarily in the areas of government takeover of the economy and Keynesian stimuli and massive deficit spending, all of it accruing to the benefit of political pals of the regime and little or none to the benefit of the economy in general.
