FDR for President

Today in class, we learned about the 2nd greatest president (behind Abe Lincoln), Franklin Delano Roosevelt, or FDR. He was president during the depression and helped our country out of it. FDR created the Tennessee Valley Authourity to study people's problems to make them better. He also hired people to paint murals on post office walls so they could feed their children bread they bought with the money they earned. FDR led our country through World War Two and was elected three times in a row! Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the creator of such programs as the post office murals and helped with eroision control and re-forestation. Now is that a great guy or what?
