Screw Roosevelt - he's an elitist and doesn't have a real plan to end the Depression. Just platitudes and generalities.

2. FDR was unlike Obama in that he was not telling advisers it's "just campaign talk"

3. FDR campaigned on reducing the deficit
And didn't have a damn clue what his "New Deal" was going to be until he hired a bunch of elitist intellectuals to come up with it during the transition period.

6. reference please?
I get tired of these smears on Obama just pulling crap out of the air. Surely this must be on Limbaugh's or Hannity's website.

4. John Nance Garner clearly has the experience that we need to get things done
He's served in Congress for years and knows how to pull the levers of Washington. How can any rational person possibly support that newbie Roosevelt? They must all be some kind of crazy cult.

5. Why don't we ever see Mr. Roosevelt playing basketball?
Why won't don't we ever see Frankling "Delano" Roosevelt dancing?

He strikes me as very arrogant.

7. History!
I've been calling for the unholy resurrection of Sen. Estes Kefauver for months on this fucking forum. Its like, we sacrifice a chicken, we call him back from the grave, and then we insert him at the last minute at the convention to save us from Obama.
