Note:
The parallels between the challenges faced by Obama and Roosevelt are many. Like FDR, Obama is confronted with economic collapse and deadly fighting overseas. The two men have similar strengths as well. Like Obama, FDR was an eloquent orator and an inspiring leader. If Obama follows Roosevelt's lead, he, like FDR, may well produce a legacy that grateful Americans will be writing and talking about three-quarters of a century from now.
