Hey, what about Franklin D. Roosevelt?!

He was a ditherer who neither understood the simplest concepts in
economics, nor ever wanted to. In the worst years of the Great
Depression he chose "Happy Days are here again" as his campaign song,
as though being cheerful would solve the problem. His policies ran as
much backward as forward -- according to the latest idea that caught
his eye. Despite US exports (and thus employment) beginning to
re-establish themselves again by 1936, he then clobbered them in his
second term by allowing the Fed to tighten the dollar. Unemployment
never started to reduce seriously until America was forced into war
in 1941 by the Japanese (and hadn't even fully recovered by the end
of the war).

I just got a chance to listen to Bill Clinton's speech to the DNC. A truly
masterful political speech...
. . . and from one of the few truly great American Presidents of the
last century (the others being Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower).

Almost, but not quite as good as some of those by Tommy Douglas.
