A lesser known aspect of our Presidential history. Nice call.
At least you admit you spit on the country and want people controlled, regulated and herded by faceless burecrats. Many of our problems can be traced back to the New Deal and the destruction it has wrought on this nation. FDR should be scorned by all Americans for the harm he caused this country.
Martin Van Buren.
Did you know that he's the one who really invented the "spoils system" and that "OK" gained prominence in the English vernacular because of him?
And he had epic facial hair.
Easy, it is President Bill Clinton.
FDR was a "great president" in the sense he accomplished is goals. he also had the most deleterious impact on America since he pissed all over the concept of a limited government. He made the government a malignancy
Who has been our greatest President?
As President, not other times and aspects of their life.
Yes, it is, if you read the whole statement. He didn't feel, in his heart, that he was deceiving because he honestly felt it was the right thing and what Americans would want. He was wrong, the facts say so.
It's really not that hard to understand.
What's funny is you attacking him for it when he is the only president, in my recollection, that ever had the balls to admit it. And please, let's not pretend any president has served without a lie; that's too naive.
Calvin Coolidge

Get a clue...
I don't really see that as hypocritical. You're being forced to pay into the system. I don't see why you should have to reject the money you paid into social security just because you criticize with it.
But they don't take part in the system willingly. You are forced to pay in. There is no hypocrisy in collecting the money you were forced to pay in and still being aginst a program. Take your partisan blinders off and you could probably see that.
William Henry Harrison - no question, no contest.
Because he was only in office for a month?
Yes, it is, if you read the whole statement. He didn't feel, in his heart, that he was deceiving because he honestly felt it was the right thing and what Americans would want. He was wrong, the facts say so.
It's really not that hard to understand.

his "goals" were getting the country through the Depression to better times and defeating fascism. How anybody can be against that and claim it was anything but tremendous is delusional.
some people remain(ed) oblivious to the suffering most sustained
a former girl friend and i came from families in the same town, but very different sides of the track
my elders praised FDR, had photos of him in the living room and sadly recalled his funeral train stopping in town and the huge numbers who paid their respects. these were people whose bleak notso great depression existence would have been even more dire but for the make work programs FDR constituted to give them the means to feed, clothe, and shelter their families
my girl friend's recollection was that times were so hard that her grandparents had to give up the lawn boy
like turtledude, i suspect they did not have a portrait of FDR in their living room either
Yeah I like how many Republicans say FDR should be scorned, but have no problem enjoying Social Security. When I see a Republican scorn FDR and NOT accept social security, then I will be impressed with that person.
