>> You mean like, FDR was a fascist who made the economy worse?

That would be "correcting" history. No objective person can look at FDR's presidency and claim he didn't have a tendency toward fascism. True, he didn't succeed in getting there. But a lot of what he did reeked of fascism. Perhaps it was never his goal.

The argument on the economy is well-established. It has taken years for the effect of the New Deal to be known, let alone written about by historians. Today, we know that his spending did NOT end the depression, and that his policy PROLONGED the depression, not helped end it.

This isn't rewriting history. It is just a natural result of history evolving toward truth. The same will happen with Bush's presidency and every other. It takes a lot of years to fully understand the effect of presidential actions on our country.
