    If you read my post above, I talk about FDR and the Great Depression.

    WWII was really what brought us out of it. I think that was just more so a fortunate sequence of events -economically speaking, anyways- rather than FDR's work as president.

    One thing is more certain, though. FDR made the Depression bearable, and he gave Americans hope and change.

    By the time America entered WWII in 1942, FDR's programs had already brought back economic stability/prosperity. Considering what dire straits America was in during the depression, what Roosevelt accomplished was nothing short of a miracle.

    So you advocate Keynesian economics?
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Economic stability wasn't restored until we began putting the country to work for the war. WWII is what brought us back. Not FDR's programs.

    FDR would probably rank close to my top spot for worst President. Thomas Jefferson would more than likely get my vote for best President.
    Most bad government has grown out of too much government. Thomas Jefferson

    Quite surprised nobody's mentioned Lincoln or Teddy yet. Hard for me to pick a favorite, while there have been some great ones, all of them also have significant negatives. If I had to choose it would be Lincoln(some would say borderline facist/tyrant) or FDR(expanded federal government way beyond many people's likings) I guess, I think they did as good a job as one can with the adversities they were faced with.

    Abe Lincoln because he stopped slavery.
    JFK because he took on the establishment and got killed by 6 assassins.
    Obama has to clean up the mess of the most inept and clueless president of all time.
    George Washington because he would not lie.

    My history is so bad I do not want to carry on and embarrass myself.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Teddy Roosevelt was a good one, starting the National Parks.



    The worst Jimmy Carter & Barack Obama

    I know ya a lean bit to the right, but seriously carter as the worst? Also barack far to soon to juudge, still in office and hence shouldn't even be in these discussions yet as the current president he's subject to hyperbole and overblown scrutiny

    Bush is given a very bad rep. He's not quite as bad as people think he is. Most of it was rather circumstantial.

    I love Teddy. Roosevelt was a man's man.

    JFK was killed by one man.
