Wow! I guess I have to accept that you didn't like him.

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.
