FDR Inaugurated! 1st Sound Pics of an Inauguration 1933/3/5

[JRF1961]

So Rush and that other Douche Bag Glen Beck would have people believe that the Roosevelts were the worst men to ever occupy the White House? Well I tell you what No one will ever put Ronald Reagan in the same catagory as Theodore or Franklin Roosevelt. They cared about the common man, Reagan only cared about what it would take to undo everything the Roosevelts did for the working man and for this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[royaladam]

Damn every word???

[royaladam]

I miss this man. We need a another FDR.

[brianclough]

Yes, I suppose back in those days they needed some well placed cliches to get the people in the mood. Not that I disagree or oppose such measures, it makes inaugural addresses all the more interesting, with something in history to remember them by, like FDR's 'The only thing to fear is fear itself' or JFK's famous words in 1961

[shinebbyshine]

did he have polio at the time??

[mortysand]

@shinebbyshine Yes.

[GenerationPoof]

generally, FDR is rated among the top 3 presidents

i think it goes:

abraham lincoln

FDR

george washington.

that's my guess and i would have to agree.

[sammyjoyification]

NO SOUND STOP CENSORING WE ARE ONTO YOU

[bobparis]

I haven't read the whole speech. I knew the address in 1937 was outrageously demagogic. I didn't realize the first address was so bombastic.

Worst President since Wilson. Worst President until Johnson.

[victorinoxical]

I'm curious, then who is the best president so far?

[TobaccoBuiltTheUSA]

oh yeah, another thing. The New Deal was more then just an economy boost. It was the rise of a new era. The change from capitalism to socialism. Our 50th president will most likely be a Karl Marx fan.

[northmeister]

FDR saved Capitalism as it was conceived in America and not as the Tabaccobuiltusa wants which is really a free market/trade slavery advocated by only platantion slave drivers of the past and not by America's greatest statesman as Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Clay, Lincoln, McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, and FDR. FDR's ideals were an extension of America's progressive tradition and repudiation European styled conservativism and free marketism, which is not capitalism.

[RedStateProgressive]

Actually, the New Deal preserved capitalism. Capitalism doesn't work unless there are rules. When there are no rules, there are Depressions.

[TobaccoBuiltTheUSA]

watch 2:12-3:00

notice how he drops his right hand immediately as he speaks. The one man signals for him to raise his right hand by raising his own, but Roosevelt does not. Now, some may think I'm fuckin dumb for addressing such a small detail, but I think there's a reason.

[CapPicard]

Was FDR paralyzed from his polio?

[chucktone11]

well kinda they said they dident want a presedent who couldent walk so he went out ther trying is hardest to walk

[MadSmokerBBQ]

@TobaccoBuiltTheUSA wow he does!!!

[jkr785]

All you Republicans out there:

Imagine what the US and the world would be like if he never would have been president. At the very least, we'd be typing to each other in German

[warbler44]

fdr was lucky not to have roberts give the oath...

[unclebobunclebob]

Hey, it's Hoobert Heever

[YensidSC]

Can you believe how many people are moving around? Do they all have to go potty or something?

[LuvLilKitty]

This is a great video!!

Where on earth did you get this footage??

5*****!!

[boxingfan44]

1929 was the stock market crash and the begining of the great depression with Hoover in office a Republican frm a long list of his party behind him.FDR was elected 1932 he took over during and was responsble for ending it. Had FDR never been elected mayvbe we would be in the history books another fallen empire, but here we go again 2008 a big list of republicans as presidents and stocks crash again while Bush was in Office wake up U.S stop electing greedy bastards who dnt gve a shit about u

[Kruschevez]

Technically we didn't elect Dubya, he stole Florida from Gore. God knows how he managed a second term though... ;)

[AnonymousComrade]

The stock market bottomed out in 1932. It was already self-correcting when this dumbass showed up and slowed it down with his New Deal

[afannell]

Wrong!! Hoover did nothing to stop the down fall of the economy.

[Kruschevez]

Hoover did just as much as FDR to try and save the economy, for one he laid the foundations for many of the New Deal programs by setting up the Hoover Dam Commission. The only reason it doesn't appear like he did anything was that he believed in the Trickle-Down theory, which has been shown time and time again to be ineffective. Besides, it wasn't even really the New Deal that saved the economy, it was the Second World War and the rearmament.

[djdk89]

yeah it was massive government spending for war

[flanksteak1]

I think it was increased productivity and strong banking regulations that led to strong growth.

[xnfxdnfxn]

@Kruschevez

no dude you got it all wrong. hoover only did things for the rich people, like the banks. he could care less about what happened to the average person. actually, hoover didnt even want to give the wwI soldiers their pension and ended up beating them in a hooverville. hoover is correctly classified as one of the three stooges; the worthless presidents of the 20's. hoover wanted the people to get up on their own "bootstraps" as he often claimed

[Kruschevez]

@xnfxdnfxn Wow...way to beat a year-old dead horse...

[BlondCT]

FDR cannot be blamed for a secular bear market that lasted 25 years from 1929 until 1954, even with the World War II boom (post-New Deal). Stocks were way overpriced and manipulated in the late 1920s. The next peak occurred in 1966, not recovering its highs again until 1982. Also, if the stock market really is forward-looking about 6 months, it hit bottom and began to "self-correct" in 1932when it became clear that FDR would be elected with a mandate for action.

[justindane123]

Do you know any history???

[Ipetratz]

He is not a "dumbass". He was a great Commander-in-Chief but true, his business intervention did extend the great depression for about 6 years.

[xnfxdnfxn]

@Ipetratz

you obviously dont know any history. if you look at the unemployment rate graphs, it is actually dropping in those six years youve stated. how can ONE man even be blamed? if it wasnt for his interventions, the depression would have lasted way longer. nothing can be solved just because, like it were magic. sadly it does take time.

[flanksteak1]

Imagine that. Another Canadian who thinks that FDR is stupid, the Moon Landings were faked and that 911 was an inside job.

[Razcal87]

america walk on the moon 12 time

[doncorleon818]

THIS was the speech Joe Biden was talking about. He mistakenly said it was after the stock market crash but it actually WAS AFTER the crash, a couple of years later...in the heat of the depression. JOE BIDEN WAS CORRECT.

[DjUtah09]

MR. LINDSTOMS CLASS IS AWESOME

[byakuya98]

I'm really glad that I watched the Inaugural speech of President Roosevelt the greatest American President of the 20th century.

Vote of Barack Obama the next president of the united states and watch the democratic convention.

[nilsorsky]

vote for McCain!

[SSJ3Sandslash]

no.

[bigfilmhat]

If you want to stay in the Iraqi Civil War, then vote for McCain.

[Adlerangriffe]

Obama is staying there too moron. Read his policy on Iraq, it's exactly the same.

[gwengoad]

history repeats whit the knowldedge of histor5y

[nickyajd]

FDR greatest president ever!

[EagleAndShield]

This looks alot like nazi speeches from 1930's

Especially with FDR standing behind BIG eagle

which really, is an idol. And the zippy music

Nice video though

[DJ80s]

Wow this was 75 years ago. Just think about that. Most great presidents in history we will never know what they sounded like. I'm glad I get to see one of them here.

Thank God for the invention of the camera, video, radio/audio, and youtube.

[michaeldavid12]

Franklin Roosevelt is democrat, I know that.

Is Theodore Roosevelt a republican or progressive??

[CDMstudios]

When Theodore Roosevelt was president he was considered a Progressive Republican due to his policies.

When he left office, his VP Taft took over and governed as a Conservative Republican. This made Theodore Roosevelt run again in 1912 as a Progressive candidate with the Bull Moose Party since he couldn't gain the GOP nomination from Taft.

He split the vote and Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson was elected president.

[panduro91]

imagine if taft and TR wouldve never split the republican party?

i think taft wouldve won..

[kxx46]

Taft WAS NOT Theodore Roosevelt's vice president.

[nathantj594]

true

[wahunga]

Does it seem like presidents of ages past were better spoken?

[PapaMagnum]

Oh, they were. You see, they didn't have TV back then to ruin the art of conversation.

[chrisman737]

Yes, and you also, in general, had an educational system that was very strong in language skills. For example, everyone took Latin -- EVERYONE.

[CDMstudios]

This was before the days of commercialism 24 hour news cycles on CNN, MSNBC, and FOX.

However, Sen. Barack Obama is well spoken.

[MAN528]

All this talk criticsims of FDR is pretty sad. He helped us through the worst period in our history, regardless of your views he should be looked at with great respect.

[shadylpfan]

If he were only able to lead us now. I'm sure God's proud to have such a man standing next to him.

[chrisman737]

I agree, MAN528. I would like to see anyone else commenting here do a better job than Roosevelt leading the country through the dismal years of the Great Depression and the horror of World War II.

[percivallll]

Don't expect people thinking in liberal economic terms to understand the genious of FDR, without question the greatest president of the 20'th century. They only know the theories of the "unscroupolus money changers", "They have no visions, and where there is no vision the people suffer".

[midgetsx]

cheers!

[shirbachaHazara]

FDR was a great historian and politician in history of the world...

[medamine39]

It was generally great, however it would be better if the camera man granted a zoomed shot in FDR's face while his oath, that would give more value to the event, thanks.

[jizzmonger]

Zoom? In 1932?

[ww2footage]

WWII was conflict between "I wanna rule the world" socialists like Roosevelt,Stalin and Hitler

[HarborGuy]

He saved America at the height of the "Great Depression. Thanks to him and his WPA and SS progams.........

[ksol1460]

More newsreels!

[timbosforporn]

Give me power and I will give you money. That is how the democratic party works.

PS

THe foundng fathers were not communist so they is no way they would have agreed with what FDR did during the 30s.

[azegas]

It's pretty tough to assume just what the Founding Fathers would have wanted. Above all, the Founding Fathers were practical, so I'd imagine that many of them might well have endorsed the New Deal. Fanatical devotion to an ideology is fine in a classroom, but it's a lousy way to run a country. FDR was no communist. FDR was a practical politician who did what was needed to bring the country out of its worst economic crisis in history.

[percivallll]

The founding fathers were prolific writers. It's fairly easy to figure out what their ideas was pertaining to the new nation. Provided of course that you can read and have the stamina to read volumes! Alexander Hamilton is very clear if you read his reports on credit the mint and manufacturing. He wanted to build an agro-industrial wellfare nation without slavery and royalty.

[percivallll]

sadly that is true. The largest contributers to both Obama and Hillary are the insurance industry and the hedgefunds.

[timbosforporn]

Broad Executive powers is just another way of saying dictatorial powers. It is another way democrats use codewords to disquise their real intentions.

[percivallll]

Nonsense. Read the constitution and the federalist papers! The aim of governement is to defend the generall wellfare. No president in the 1900's did that as well FDR!

[rivercitymud]

Well said.

[percivallll]

I just hope that we can get a new FDR in time to handel the onrush of the present crisis that promisses to be much worse than the great depression.

[CDMstudios]

to promote the General Welfare...

[percivallll]

for us and our posterity...

[patmix]

progress in medias despite the infamous crack'crisis of the 30's
