It's funny, in my mind he's one of the most overrated presidents in history. Yes, he should get some credit for helping lead the country through World War II, but...
Teddy was the better Roosevelt in the presidency by far; take a look at the era of presidential corruption he stepped into, and the fact that he was able to raise the presidency's importance again is a minor miracle. In addition, I'd say Truman had a tougher job following Roosevelt and did a fantastic job.
FDR almost lost his presidency anyways after his second term with his court-packing scheme and inability to drum up any Congressional support; World War II saved his presidency.
End of hijack.
