Perhaps this was naive of me, but I never understood how poorly people who call themselves Democrats understand FDR or anything he did during his administrations. It's really been evident lately.
The biggest shocker for me was discovering so many people parroting why the conservatives have been saying about him all these years, just without the condemnation for it. The Republican line on FDR seems to have stuck.
And then I see the parallel with what's happening with Obama. A lot of people on the left actually believed that nonsense about Obama being the most liberal person in the Senate, or at least wanted to believe it.
