37. FDR sponsored programs that employed people.
Edited on Wed Aug-03-11 01:13 AM by JDPriestly
Obama has stopped doing that.

The economy is not turning around because Obama's stimulus was half-hearted.

And now his austerity program will slow the economy even more.

FDR investigated the Wall Street crooks. Obama has not done that.

FDR's campaign was not financed by Wall Street. Obama's was and, if he runs again, will.
