For how often Reagan's flaws and mistakes get brought up (fairly), I'll throw some token big red flags of FDR's:
- Blocked federal anti-lynching legislation ... Don't wanna hear the BS that he "needed" Southern Democrats for his New Deal legislation, that's like excising a Republican POTUS blocking a civil rights measure so that he could get his tax cuts through, which no one on this board would do.
- Tried to circumvent his Constitutional authorities when it came to one of our most important and ideally non-partisan beaches of government: the Supreme Court.  Can you imagine the reaction here if Bush had tried to add justices??  Haha.
- Put more than 100,000 Japanese Americans in internment camps ... this speaks for itself.

Both had good and bad qualities, I voted for Reagan.

FDR and I don't think this is debatable

It is.  You guys can't even FATHOM that anyone might not be a liberal Democrat, can you?

FDR ===> Greatest President.

RWR ===> Easily the Worst.

Not a terribly difficult poll, this one.

Yeah, Reagan was way worse than Buchanan and Johnson.  Totally.
