FDR was called a socialist by his contemporaries

he and his policies must have been doing something right because he was re-elected three times.

FDR probably saved this country from becoming either a Fascist or Communist dictatorship back then. there were a lot of American industrialists AND workers that thought the NAZI model in Germany was the way to go because they created so many jobs after Hitler came to power  

The Second Bill of Rights was a list of rights proposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the then President of the United States, during his State of the Union Address on January 11, 1944. In his address Roosevelt suggested that the nation had come to recognize, and should now implement, a second "bill of rights". Roosevelt's argument was that the "political rights" guaranteed by the constitution and the Bill of Rights had "proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness." Roosevelt's remedy was to declare an "economic bill of rights" which would guarantee:

• Employment, with a living wage,
• Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies,
• Housing,
• Medical care,
• Education, and,
• Social security

 A little weak and caving in to the GOP to much but better than the right wing alternatives.

a "little weak"? Obama is a bigger box than Jimmy Carter. only guy in Washington weaker is Attorney General Eric Holder BUT that just shows how foolish Obama was with the overall staffing of his administration esp Homeland Security and Finance. Janet Napolitano as HS Director? YIKES!!! every damn "bail out the banks" Wall Street Weasel like Larry Summers and Tim Geithner? that's like hiring the fox to guard the chickens.

IF the Republicans run ANY candidate that isn't completely FUCK NUTS, Obama will probably lose worse than Jimmy Carter did in 1980 because his liberal base is PISSED. they thought they were voting for a 21st Century FDR and instead they got a re-run of Jimmy Carter.
