What were some of Franklin D. Roosevelt's failures as president?

Answer 1

FDR as a PresidentHere are some opinions:

• I would think being the only President ever elected to a third (let alone a fourth) term could be considered a success.

• Roosevelt was a good president during World War 2. He helped the American people prepare themselves for war.

• I do not think that he was. Before World War 2 Roosevelt was said to have ties to the Mafia.

• Many people credit Roosevelt for taking America through World War 2. Others critize him for getting the US involved in the war in the first place. They point out that he worked to get America actively fighting in Europe for years, and taunted the Japanese into a first strike.

• Many people credit Roosevelt for helping America through the Great Depression. Others criticize him for prolonging the depression and making it more painful for working people. They will explain how he socialized the US economy in ways that would have made the founding fathers roll over in their graves.
• For people, like my parents who are old enough to remember FD Roosevelt firsthand. They would say "yes" he was a success. For them his radio addresses gave them hope for the future in WWII. He inspired them to carry on and not give up . He was much admired.

Answer 2

Harry S (with no period!) Truman was one of our best presidents. His early life wasn't all that successful - going broke in a menswear partnership, for instance. He served in World War I as an army captain, and those under his command were ever after fiercely loyal to him. His success began when he entered county politics in his hometown (not his birthplace!) of Independence, Mo., and gave the people in his county the roads they'd been paying for. His next success was being elected to the U.S. Senate, and later as Roosevelt's last Vice President. His ultimate success was being elected President after completing Roosevelt's last term. Go to your public library and check out one of the Truman biographies ..... you'll learn a lot more about this great man than I can write here.
