FDR was stealthy one of the worst presidents the country has ever had.
We're talking about a guy who jailed completely innocent people without trial, because they overheard that he was speicifically planning to do the exact opposite of what he was saying publically, by forcing the country into an unpopular foreign war. It all worked out in the end, WW2 wise, but anyone with any real reasearch into his presidency would have to be one of those "The ends justify the means" type. FDR more or less was a more extreme version of Bush. It's just his war panned out. |
I would agree with you on FDR. I always hear people talk about how great he was, but most people don't really actually study everything he did as president. Thats why when any politician says, one of their favorite presidents was FDR, a huge red flag goes up for me, because if they are supposedly a studied individual they should know full well who FDR really was and what he did.
It seems like most histroy books within the last handful of decades all paint a rosie picture of him without giving all the facts.
