Re: Worst President Ever
By the commonly used definitions, being liberal does not mean being fundamentally anti-capitalism/anti-business. It's all relative
FDR is considered leftist/liberal just in the sense that he presided over one of the biggest expansions of the federal government, EVER. Much of that obviously had to do with his attempts to struggle with the Great Depression and the second world war, for better or for worse...
also...I'm not sure if the right measure of a great president should be not having enough time to screw anything up
But yeah generally I don't like strict party-line thinking... That said, there are numerous reports about how Obama actually has an extremely high IQ - probably among the highest of any presidential candidate. Not to say that that means he will be "great"...
