(62,325 posts)You are confusing me with blind partisans who can't tolerate any criticism of a Democratic President. Being someone who has criticized EVERY Democrat whose policies stray from the Democratic Party's platform on the issues, FDR on the internment of Japanese Americans, Clinton on NAFTA, on Welfare Reform, on Glass Steagal and Obama on continuing Bush Policies, your attempt at a 'gotcha' on a Democratic President was bound to fail.
I am a Democrat who is not blind to the faults of our party but who views the other party as much, much worse on Civil Rights, on Foreign Policy (until recently) on the poor, and on education (also until recently)
You will not find me among those who choose to be blinded by partisanship. I am for improving OUR party, on getting rid of the right wing contingency that has attached itself to our party and sending them back to their own party which is more suited to their positions on policies.
So I'm not sure at all why you thought I might not be familiar with the entirety of FDR's record which even considering his failures, is still far superior to the Republicans who followed him. Don't you agree? Or are you saying that Republicans are a better choice and we would have been better off without FDR and all of his policies?
I just can't figure out what your point is frankly, although what I'm getting from your comments is 'FDR stinks' and I'm not getting much from you on your opinion of our last several Republican presidents.
However, you do need to stop reading those right wing sources you read. I've suggested that to you before. They tend to be short on facts and selective on criticism of our presidents.
