A pretty good argument could be made that Roosevelt was one of our worst presidents.

Oh, really? Let’s hear it.

Revisionist slander? How so? I don't pretend to be an expert on economics, but I'm glad that there are books coming out now casting a new perspective on the hagiography of Roosevelt that passes for history. A pretty good argument could be made that Roosevelt was one of our worst presidents. As for Obama, whether he's actually called for nationalization of industry as a campaign issue isn't the point. Look at how he's voted , the role he sees government playing, and who his associates are . As the Good Books says, "By their deeds ye' shall know them." Roosevelt looking good? Revisionist slander? How so?
