I'm interested to know which President and administration Zoltan truly admires and respects? I will hazard a guess. Calvin Cooledge. Our most underrated President Mr. Cooledge respected the Presidency so much that he never entered the oval office without wearing a coat and tie. What a contrast with the current occupant.

>>Thanks FDR for your VISION, WILL, and HUMANITY at a very desperate time in our nations history!!! Vision: Left US with the Cold War, the greatest debt in US history, bloated government and the Social (in)Security mess. Gone over 50 years and we're still digging our way out of the mess FDR put US in. Thank you FDR. Will: FDR showed he had no principles but the will to do and say anything: ran for Prez in '28 as a fiscal conservative, ran one of the dirtiest elections in history ('36) and his programs kept the US economy in tatters until saved by the war he promised not to wage and then lied his way into. Humanity: Refused to allow refugee European jews asylum or most infamously, to even land in America. Put oriental Americans in concentration camps and presided over the Tuskegee experiments. Beginning in 1932, the federal government sponsored a study to examine the impact of syphilis involving black men. pbs.org FDR's reign was the closest the US has come to totalitarianism, in practice FDR was an authoritarian, certainly not a democrat.
