FDR ---> Clinton? R U shitting me?

FDR -- C.C.C., W.P.A., S.S., Glass-Steagall.

Bill -- Repealed Glass-Steagall. We know how that worked out.

"End Welfare as we know it." (Translate "Fuck the poor.&quot

A couple of wars here and there. Kosovo, Black Hawk Down.

The next logical progression ---

Hillary -- End ALL Welfare?

Goldman Sachs paid her $1/4mil. to run her mouth. They must expect somethin' in return.

Lets see. Iraq may be up for another invasion because of ISIS. How do you think she will decide as president with the encouragement of Republican war mongers.

Right now it says 'FDR greater than Clinton?' and an expression of disbelief.

I think maybe the disbelief would be towards 'FDR < Clinton?'

THAT pissed off my sister who knows Doris Kearns Goodwin.
THAT really pissed off my mother who knew Eleanor Roosevelt.

?

I did not like the comparison at all. The campaign is getting to sound like an expensive Madison Ave commercial where the consumer get fooled about the product but it's too late when you buy a President, you can't take it back for a refund.

consolidate into 5-6 major conglomerates that we now have, like the bloated, giant deregulated banks that are bigger and more powerful than ever. And the PIC, Prison Industrial Complex expansion and stiffer sentencing. Quite a lot was accomplished-
