  I’m old enough to remember the moment when enough of the Greatest Generation had died so the GOP could start in on how FDR had been a failure.

  When the Greatest* were alive they’d talk your ear off about how FDR had saved the country and what a great leader he was.

  But the New Deal was way too Socialist to be allowed today.

  *Please don’t yammer about they weren’t ‘great’ because of the racism and sexism and imperialism. “Greatest Generation” is the commonly accepted term.

  Probably because he was the only President elected to more than 2 terms

  Absolutely insulting to see Jackson and Wilson ranked alongside the likes of FDR and Lincoln.

  Well, FDR was a man of snappy quotes, executive overreach, and of throwing a lot of things at the wall and seeing what sticks. Maybe that’s it :\
