I tend to think so. He was patriotic, a military(Navy) man. He CUT taxes when president. Unheard of for a Democrat.

Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
FDR
Almost ended the world with WWIII after the miserably planned Bay of Pigs.
Fail.
Truman by a long shot.

after all, if it wasn't for FDR we could be looking forward to W pt. III
Ike.
The Interstate Highway System, baby! Interstates!
People don't know what it is to be a champion.
Oklahoma INVENTED it.
surely Ike wasn't a Dem
He was a Republican, and a damn fine one, I might add.Originally Posted by yermom

I am in agreement, FDR all the way.

Guh. Yeah, Ike was a Pub. Should've paid attention to the subject.
Truman + fatman = glass parking lots
Harry FTW.

I vote wheelchair dude!
FDR
Won 2 wars basically, got economy going.
Then again he got dealt some bad cards that he did good against. I'm sure others could have done the same in his situation.
i knew this was coming eventually
The decade of the 30's, with Depression, culminating in war is prolly what makes FDR better than JFK, I guess?

Truman...case closed.

FDR piddled around with make-work govt. projects for what, 9 yrs. until the Pearl Harbor attack by the Nips really got the US economy sparked-up. I don't see this as any great achievement by the New Dealer.

dittos on that.
OBAMA= One Big A** Mistake America!
I would say convincing an isolationist nation to embark on a 4 year campaign which freed people on 3 continents, stopped a genocide, and placed America firmly atop the world pecking order is a decent enough achievement, add to the fact that he was elected 4 times and crippled with polio makes him a special figure within American politics.
The man is not without criticism, but come on, the dude's on the dime and is regarded roundly by citizens and academics alike as one of the greatest ever, even beyond the 20th century. Personally, I think the whole notion of basing your views of a president solely on what you perceive as lowering taxes is both lazy and revisionist.
