Like Lincoln, FDR faced challenges not faced by Presidents before or since. Each rose to the challenge, and made this a better nation. Had Eisenhower had these kinds of challenges, I believe he had the character to also became one of the very great Presidents.
That fucking scumbag FDR "rose to the challenge"? Rose to the challenge of prolonging the Great Depression? Rose to the challenge of saddling future generations with unsustainable economic obligations? Rose to the challenge of lying to the American people - and his own wife? Rose to the challenge of undermining the basic foundations of our Republic in order to gather power unto himself? Rose to the challenge of throwing over 100,000 innocent people into his concentration camps - including a great many of the bravest and most loyal US citizens? Rose to the challenge of surrendering half the world to communist oppression?
Yeah, a real fucking peach.
Based on what childish standard? Perhaps you can name the Presidents who didn't lie to the American people on a regular basis. See if you can name even one.
Okay then, you agree that FDR was a liar. You are making progress, albeit much too slowly.
Yes all presidents lie. Some more than others. Does it matter to you that some are constant liars, and others are less likely to lie? Or is it that since all of them lie, it really does not matter the extent of their lies?
FDR has to be up with Big Ears, as the greatest of all lying presidents.
Oh I see, not a matter of principle then, just one of degree.
I fear you are going around in circles. You must be very dizzy....and ditsy.
I conclude this from your post....since all presidents lie, lying is not a problem and the affects and consequences of those lies, matters not to you.
