Bush, FDR & JFK
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, one of the nation's most prominent Democrats, compares President Bush to Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.
Mr. Daley said the 2004 election reflects a political change on the order of what occurred under those legendary Democrats.
"You talk about Roosevelt. You talk about Kennedy. And you have to talk about Bush. You have to give credit to his discipline, to the message he stayed on line. People made fun. They underestimated him all the time. He showed them all," Mr. Daley told John Fund, who wrote about the interview at the Political Diary portion of www.OpinionJournal.com.
Mr. Daley complained that Washington's Democratic insiders let Republicans "become the party of average Americans" and relegated the Democrats to being the party of large donors.
Mr. Daley blamed the defeat on "elitists" inside the party, Mr. Fund wrote, for having, "too long ridiculed people of faith."
"They don't like people who have different beliefs than they do," Mr. Daley said. "They were shoved out, not to be respected."
