Current Events » in reply to The reason they hate him so much, Buck, is they are afraid he'll become the new FDR.

He just might.

If we're talking about someone whose policies kept us in economic stagnation for ten years, and whose major legacy today consists mostly of a myth pushed by starry-eyed socialists. Obama's only got four years of stagnation so far, although I admit the unemployment rate to date is less than FDR's was. How's Obama going to get us out of this? Have the U.S. enter WWIII?

When I talk to people about FDR's actual economic record, the usual response is what I've been hearing about Obama's: "Well, it would have been worse otherwise."

There's a motto for the Shining City on the Hill. "It could be worse."
