Truman was in power to begin with and almost let the poor people starve to death during the depression.
I am 63 and my Mother told me that during the depression the poor people almost starved to death. She and her family were poor and so were her friends and extended family , so she knows.
After being elected Franklin D Roosevelt, whose family was extremely wealthy, but still had the soul to recognize that the working poor was treated very very bad and the wealty were treated extremely well.
He then created social security, and created the CCC's that gave jobs to those who could not find one. He was probably the first president that cared about the working poor and other less fortunates in this country.
Too bad George Bush is attempting to undo all the good Roosevelt accomplished. George Bush is ONLY concerned about power and money and the people that have it.

What does "play both ends of the stick with politics" mean? If you mean which one was the most non-partisan, that would have to be George Washington since he was the only one not afflicted with some form of two party political system to deal with.

JFK, and while the others mention him they give no reason. JFK had something that we need today, it was called the braintrust. It was comprised of Republcans and Deomcrats who were the smartest Americans around in that age.

George W. Bush, of course.
But people who are bigoted against Bush's religious beliefs have told so many lies about him, most people don't know it.
