FDR was a better bowler.

Another connection; people are expressing dismay that the US government is acting like a petty dictatorship in going after specific people and businesses, but FDR and his crew did the same thing.

Insull, Mellon, the Schecters; big and small, if FDR perceived that they somehow represented capitalism in general, they had bullseyes on them.

FDR prepped us for the new Left wing age, and BHO is the Left's crowning moment.
