FDR, America's Second Worst President, friend to Conrad Black and neoconservatives everywhere.

Who do you consider worse? My vote goes to Abraham Lincoln, "the Great Centralizer" for the massive shift in power from the States to the Federal Government.

Your Humble Servant...

I'm astonished at the sweeping nature of his support, and his entire omission of the court-packing threat, which amounted to an 'auto-coup', IMO.

FDR was no Lenin, but he was no Washington, either.

Say John, my perfectly sane and rational fellow conservative, who would you put forward as America's absolute worst president? BTW, how do you feel about slavery?

Sorry, but I must disagree. FDR was a great President for three terms but he should have retired and turned the job over to Harry Truman. Stalin ran circles around FDR because his health was failing rapidly. FDR's fourth term was a big mistake. But the country was at war and FDR had strong popular support.

I rate Teddy Roosevelt much higher than FDR but, then, he was my childhood hero.
