I will give credit where credit is due and he was a major factor in WWII, but there is just too much information out there based on the failed policies of his social engineering programs(and they most definitely were that). Read that article I sent you, very good information in there as to why people “loved it.” It was basically control of the masses in a politicized way.
I read it and it is quite persuasive. I have been tuned into this idea for a number of years now, but again, it is very hard to imagine the alternative history, especially since WWII and the subsequent economic growth kind of wiped the slate clean.
So, the obvious rejoinder to this cartoon is that everything worked out in the end for Roosevelt, so why not for Obama? You guys are swimming against history! It’s a poor argument, but I don’t think it’s countered very well by trying to emphasize what a disaster Roosevelt was, when people just don’t see it that way.
