NO president should attempt to "be another FDR". Obama didn't and we are better for it. Obama is Obama. The greatest presidents are the ones who made their own mark and didn't try to be someone else.

Obama is exactly the president we need at this time. We needed a calm-headed, rational, LIBERAL in the White House and we got one.
