The FDR clip is priceless and completely pertinent to today's situation...I wouldn't call it a "rant."

This time, our non-leader president looks like he's helplessly taking us on the brink of disaster. I didn't bother to watch the FDR rant against the Republicans on Youtube someone posted here a few days ago. Blame what's happening on the Republicans all you want. FDR was a leader. A man with backbone, not a teleprompter slave. FDR stood up for what he believed in, even to the point of trying to pack the Supreme Court. Don't dare use FDR's words to describe or indict the Republicans or members of any other party to explain the current state of affairs. Obama and his wife got into college and law school because of Affirmative Action. Got hired because of Affirmative Action. Now we see just where the good intentions of /that/ program got us. Just what did Obama promise gays? What did he promise other groups? What about GITMO? It's said that Democrats start wars and Republicans finish them. Under Obama our civil liberties, like with the TSA and no warrant search and tapping, haven't been eroded. They've been sandblasted. Sandblasted in ways GWBush never thought possible. We voted for Hope and Change. We're about to get the change and fast. Got any spare change, Sir?
