I have never liked FDR, but if it was a public fallout then I would have expected a larger drop.

Well he did still defeat the Nazis.  The worlds "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevilist"@tm government.

 

He was president when the Nazis were defeated. Not really the same thing. The Russians defeated the Nazis. We just helped.

 

I know that and you know that... but you know.  History has it's FDR fanboys.  For example most historians hold that if FDR didn't illegally help the English by bypassing the consitution, illegally impirsoning someone who caught him and going against the countrys and Congress's will that the UK would of fell and Russia would of never had a chance.

Yea. Crazy how the world really works.

For example, Andrew Jackson defeated the British in the greatest battle in the war of 1812. The problem was, he did it two weeks after the British had already surrendered. He didn't win the war, but everyone in the US thought he did.

It was the leading cause of him winning the presidency. Something that didn't really happen (it was a great battle victory however. Defeating the general that took down Napoleon and his army.)
