"Being firm, confident, and straight forwarded is what makes a person a good leader."

Those are qualities that Teddy Roosevelt had is spades. The hero of San Juan Hill overcame many obstacles in his life and was a great leader. It is a shame he condemned Taft for handling things differently.

I would say that FDR was good leader, he may have lead in a direction that we would have preferred not going in, but he was a good leader. Harry appears to be a leader because he got stuck with the decision to bomb Japan.

Can you imagine if today's Democrats were in his place? We would be either subjects of Germany or Japan.
