Absolutely not:
Did you know that on D-Day, FDR led the nation in a 6 minute prayer that he wrote himself. What would you say if you-know-who did that? I thought that was the stuff of religious right-wing extremists.
Did you know that when the Federal Gov't was promoting Social Security, it released an informational pamphlet that said the following:
"…and finally, beginning in 1949, 12 years from now, you and your employer will each pay 3 cents on each dollar you earn, up to $3,000 a year. That is the most you will ever pay."

>That is a multi-trillion dollar lie. I thought Presidential lies were bad. Especially one that dwarfs Enron.
Contrary to ridiculous popular belief, his policies did not eliminate the Great Depression or even shorten it.
FDR was the end of limited government in the USA. Of course, worshipers of government love that, but people like me who enjoy liberty and despise the government intruding into every aspect of my life find it appalling.

He did a lot of good in that era of History. Wasn't he responsible for the New Deal, and the Public words programs to help the country recover from the 1920's Depression?
However, Democratic Presidents do not "reign" over their countries. They run the country/lead the country simply as the President and Commander in Chief of the armed forces.

Obama gained the Nobel Peace Prize for actually no reason being nominated 10 days into his presidency. The scientific coverage reform isn't over. This recession replaced right into a completely bipartisan attempt and is not over. Many are nevertheless unemployed. Obama replaced into called devil on the UN merely like Bush replaced into. Kyoto replaced right into a failure and Bush did the final element by utilising not signing it. the determination for the US to tug out of Iraq replaced into reached for the time of the Bush presidency by way of success of the surge. I accept as true with you approximately Afghanistan. His administration spends money like we've even have been given some. He has not stored his grants approximately transparency, lobbyists, changing Washington DC, reducing the beef out of expenditures, or coming up jobs. he's have been given a protracted thank you to bypass formerly i think of he's doing an good activity. in fact i in my opinion dislike his time table. He does appear like a effective kinfolk guy nevertheless

Because of how he single handedly brought the US into the modern era, eliminated the great depression, won WWII, so on and so forth. it is rather telling about how admired he was and just how effective he was as president that he was elected to 4 terms and served all of three and some of the fourth. there are a slew of books about his presidency.
there are 3 presidents that are considered greats. Those are Washington, Lincolin and FDR. pretty equal in terms of fans amoung historians accually.

FDR wasn't the best president. John F Kennedy was, followed by Clinton. This is coming from a Canadian.

Because he was the president for 3 terms and died when he had to serve 4th term.it means people loved him as they elected him so many times. He did many things to help country to get rid of great depression. when european countries where fighting in WW2 he kept the USA neutral for first2 years instead of distruction he brought economic boom and prosperity to the country.there are many programs that he created even today. for ex. social security administration.
he played a really big role in country's history.

FRD was not the best pres. he was just the same as the rest, he had supporters that had money etc. story is repeated. the only way a president will be good is if he can break the hard mold of being the US president.

He stopped George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott, with the Trading With the Enemy Act for refusing to stop aiding and supplying Hitler with ores and raw resources. Prescott Bush sold Hitler at least one third of the raw materials used by the Nazi war machine before Roosevelt put a stop to his treasonous greed, at least in that one situation.

he brought us out of a terrible depression by creating the New Deal, and although controversial, sent us to war bailing out all of europe by ultimately taking one of, if no the most influential and dangerous dictators in world history. and the economy flourished because of the wartime economy.
