FDR was "dealt" WWII? Didn't it start after he had already been president for TWO whole terms? As for "guiding us through" the depression, things really didn't improve throughout the entire decade of the 1930's. In fact, there was another severe depression in 1937-1938 that pushed unemployment back up to 20% despite all of the "New Deal" policies that were supposed to help. FDR tried to alter the Supreme Court when he didn't get his way, showing no respect for separation of powers. FDR broke tradition going back to George Washington in running for a third term. I agree with you that Washington was a great president for this reason alone. FDR imprisoned Japanese-Americans with no due process. And the history of FDR is still being written... When the great Ponzi scheme known as "Social Security" finally collapses, maybe people will get a clue.
