More Think Obama is Telling the Truth


A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds voters in are divided on whether President Obama and Mitt Romney's campaigns are telling the truth or purposely misleading the public.

By 49% to 42%, slightly more voters believe the Obama campaign is "saying things it believes to be true" rather than "intentionally misleading people." For Romney's team the numbers are roughly flipped: 43% say they are telling the truth, 48% not.

6. Here's what he should say: Words of FDR about Fascism

President Roosevelt did not have an easy time of it. The forces of greed and self-interest feared him and fought hard against him, and so here’s what he said:

"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." — President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Message to Congress on Curbing Monopolies, April 29, 1938

He said what needed to be said, and that’s why he was a great president who saved the country, made it great, and left a great legacy.

Read Roosevelt's Great Legacy, and many of his words.
