I think he's the model to which all Democratic Presidents should aspire.

He would be absolutely appalled by what Wall Street, the Koch Brothers and Mitt Romney are up to today.

The 1% was bad enough back in the 1930's when they were calling FDR 'a traitor to his class'.

Obama failed, we will not, and you'll get a tax cut.

FDR managed to hold a coalition of Southern whites and multi-ethnic Northerners together for four elections in a row. His platform allowed him to carry Alabama AND Massachusetts. At the heart of his approach was an activist federal government -- something that made Republicans wary, then and now. When the public mood is anti-government, as in 1980, the conservative position is clear and easy. As Reagan said, “Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem.” We Democrats are forced into uncomfortable, defensive answers about things the national government should do, while simultaneously agreeing that we must keep it strictly limited. At other moments, when the public yearns for solutions from any quarter, including the government, the roles are reversed and Republicans must explain why their limited-government ideology should trump aggressive actions to solve the nation’s problems.
