Not to mention the fact that FDR was illegally selling ships and planes to England and THEN asking congress for permission after the deals were done.

As for Roosevelt provoking Hitler's declaration - again, NOT what I really think, but what some of today's liberals really think and have said on occasion - just look at the Lend-Lease Act, whereby from Hitler's point of view we 'hurt' him and Germany by militarily arming Britain.

Jack, of course. So obvious. But by today’s standards – and by that, I mean the standards of today’s crazy left-liberals – please note the following:

- “It was Japan that attacked us.”

- “Roosevelt provoked ~~Putin to invade Georgia~~ ~~Saddam to invade Kuwait and develop WMD~~ Germany to attack our Atlantic shipping.”

I’ve constructed those arguments two against U.S. intervention in the European theater of WW2 as exact equivalents of the left’s bogus arguments against the Iraq war. I can’t know, but I do suspect, that Roosevelt would never buy them.

#4 — “…Roosevelt got us into Europe in WW2.” ?? I think Nazi Germany’s declaration of war against the United States on December 9, 1941, had quite a bit to do with it.

He may have omitted President Clinton in that particular passage, but he praised Clinton in his opening remarks and later made references to Clinton’s record as President.

He also left out Carter.

Roosevelt and Kennedy would not support defeat in Iraq. We can argue about whether they would have supported going in – I say they would have, because Roosevelt got us into Europe in WW2 and Kennedy got us into Vietnam – but whether they would have gotten us in or not, I’m fairly confident that they would not have supported the Obama-Biden-Carter policies of defeat.

Truman served for more than one term (1945-48, 1949-52) but was only elected once.So technically, Truman didn’t win 2 Presidential elections.

Food for thought: How many present day Democrats do you know would ever say “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for our country?”

He also left out Truman, whom someone noted did a great deal more than JFK. Perhaps afraid to reference a president who was incredibly unpopular at the end of his presidency, yet is now widely recognized as one of our greatest.

Yep, Bill Clinton, who BY THE WAY, never got a majority of the vote. (Another little snippet the Dems love to leave out when talking about his 2 terms.)
