The latter I think he accomplished almost singlehandedly as a leader ... of course economic pressures were crucial.

The worst president in history is going to be the one we elect this year, regardless of who wins the election.

Really? That's the first time I've ever heard anyone disparage FDR.

I would probably give the "worst" trophy to Carter.

His policies were horrible.

I actually met him and got to speak with him for a bit.

He's a jerk.

Don't think you can say FDR is the worst ... of course he helped create a welfare state ... but the mere fact that he was elected 4 times is evidence that there's more to FDR than just leftist leanings.

Anyway gotta run Cody and I have an event to attend with justice Scalia.

He is normally referred to in glowing terms.

Now that you mention it though he was just as much of a womanizer as Clinton.

Coolidge used to be viewed quite negatively. Time seems to be softening historians criticisms, though.

I like Wilson, but most others don't.
