Thank you FDR

FDR was a great president

Turned us into a superpower

FDR must have had such an impact on America and Americans that Republicans are still angry and still trying to find something to destroy his image. They have attacked FDR, Eleanor, and even FDR's dog Fala in their quest to find something wrong. They must have ransacked every history book, every battle of WWII, and every aspect of the Great Depression, in their quest to find something, wrong, anything, and yet historians in their last survey named FDR America's greatest president. How hurtful!
Republicans might try the FDR dog bit again, I mean who knows how many other dogs Fala might have impregnated?

"To find something wrong"? Anyone who can't see at least several things inexcusably wrong is either a shameless, hero-worshiping drone, or as anti-American as that son of a bitch Roosevelt was.

If you know of things the historians are not aware of, for the sake of history, you should get that information to the next historian's that rate the presidents as quick as possible. Might try the concentration camp thing again.
And by all means let us know how they respond.

You should find a new logical fallacy to repeat endlessly.

It falls into their revisionist history fantasy

FDR, Wilson, Truman.....Bad

Harding, Coolidge, McCarthy ....Good

JFK, MLK.......Conservatives

You offer the same argument and I give the same response. I even suggested Fala as a new approach, or how about FDR's preparation for WWII with Martin, Barton and Fish, or FDR's balance the budget attempt. Even the historians are commies had some potential. In two or three days we can expect the concentration camp thing again,

Go ahead, excuse CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the US holding innocent, loyal US CITIZENS behind barbed wired and armed guard towers. Go ahead.

America was bound by the Neutrality Acts until FDR got the cash and carry proviso and finally in March 41 America passed "Lend-Lease."

Glad you asked

Prior to WWII we had the 17th largest military in the world. Prior to WWI we were about the same

After FDR, nobody was even close

We had the bomb, they didn't
They lacked a Navy

We all know how certain board members have a hilarious hatred against FDR, but let's look at what one of the greatest presidents this nation has ever had did for the people:
Interesting facts about FDR in general: http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/facts/
The List:

- The FDIC
- The CWA
- The NIRA
- Abolishing prohibition.
- The "first 100 days" program to grant relief to tens of millions.
- Created the TVA, continued FERA, don't forget the CCC.
- The NLRA and the AAA.
- Established social security and the SEC.
- Drastically decreased unemployment.
- The good neighbor policy
- He Supported the case for intervention in WWII through the Destroyers for Bases Agreement and Lend-Lease Act supplying ships and armament to the Allied forces.
- Led the US into world war 2 to help crush the fascist dogs.
- Endorsed the creation of the UN.
- The FSA
- He added millions of acres to America's national forests, national parks, and wildlife refuges.
- He was elected four times for a reason
- During FDR's presidency, women were appointed to positions that were unprecedented in terms of both number of appointments as well as rank in the United States government.

What FDR was handed:

By the time that FDR was inaugurated president on March 4, 1933, the banking system had collapsed, nearly 25% of the labor force was unemployed, and prices and productivity had fallen to 1/3 of their 1929 levels. Reduced prices and reduced output resulted in lower incomes in wages, rents, dividends, and profits throughout the economy. Factories were shut down, farms and homes were lost to foreclosure, mills and mines were abandoned, and people went hungry. The resulting lower incomes meant the further inability of the people to spend or to save their way out of the crisis, thus perpetuating the economic slowdown in a seemingly never-ending cycle.

At the height of the Depression in 1933, 24.9% of the total work force or 12,830,000 people was unemployed. Although farmers technically were not counted among the unemployed, drastic drops in farm commodity prices resulted in farmers losing their lands and homes to foreclosure.

The displacement of the American work force and farming communities caused families to split up or to migrate from their homes in search of work. "Hoovervilles," or shantytowns built of packing crates, abandoned cars, and other scraps, sprung up across the nation. Residents of the Great Plains area, where the effects of the Depression were intensified by drought and dust storms, simply abandoned their farms and headed for California in hopes of finding the "land of milk and honey." Gangs of unemployed youth, whose families could no longer support them, rode the rails as hobos in search of work. America 's unemployed citizens were on the move, but there was no place to go that offered relief from the Great Depression.

He was without question, the worst president.

Prolonged the Great Depression with naive and harmful economic policies, instigated war with Japan and then lied about it, imprisoned Americans unjustly, ignored precedent by running for 3rd and 4th term on his deathbed, enormous ego even though he was dumb, ignored the Constitution repeatedly, tried to pack the SC, prolonged WWII causing terrible death and destruction with his idiotic unconditional surrender terms, gave half of Europe to his buddy in Moscow, administration full of commie Stalinist spies that he refused to remove...

To think him great, proves you know nothing.

Some see the truth and some don't. The oligarch loves dummies.

I have it on good authority that FDR didn't eat his veggies.

The Republicans certainly have their work cut out for them trying to make one of America's greatest presidents into a failure. Few liberals try to make Lincoln a failure, but it seems some conservatives would put FDR and Lincoln in the same fail position.
FDR was number one in the hearts of the people of his period; they elected him four times in a row, and that, thanks to Republicans, will be a record for some time.
