I am not going to be late this time.
I'm really interested in this kind of history now, because we've already learned a little about it and it only happened 70-80 years ago. This site convinced me that the Roosevelts were the best presidential team yet.They both helped the United States in several ways. Eleanor aided the youth portion of Americans by establishing the NYA to help educate the future of America and she helped every race, setting a good example for the rest of the country. She tried to level the playing field by granting opportunities to less fortunate children with the foundation of WPA too. Franklin was obviously a popular president due to the fact that he was the only one to ever serve more than two terms. He also worked to improve the conditions that less fortunate families endured. In his new deal, TVA was an important feature. Franklin understood how hard it was for families who had to live in the Tennessee Valley and by pursuing the TVA project he made life easier when he controlled the flooding waters and provided jobs for many Americans.
okay, done.

I agree that the website and our book make Roosevelt come off as one of our greatest presidents. I have no doubt he was, but no one is perfect. it makes me wonder if he was just one of the perfect presidents (from a purely job oriented stance) or if they are leaving some things out.
I agree, the website really shows how Roosevelt's New Deal helped out everyone from small towns to big cities. The both of them did make a good team and I hope that we can get more of those good teams today.
I found your comment agreeable in the sense that Roosevelt was aimed at providing aid to the average American. I also found it quite scary when you mentioned how recent the Great Depression was. I hope that nothing like the Great Depression ever happens again in this point and time!!
