7. FDR the greatest president in American history.

I know some think Lincoln is the greatest but FDR is in my book the all time greatest.

A man with a vision, took the US out of the Great Depression.
Established a safety net for the American people.
The New Deal.
Civil Rights.
Established govt agencies to protect the people.
Won WWII.

FDR wanted the US to work not just for the rich, but for all the people.
People were so grateful for what he did.

Americans showed so much courage fighting in WWII.
Fighting for democracy.

Now many Americans will gladly vote out democracy and not think twice about it.
