@eduardalet Reagan was the last great one but I'll forgive you. FDR was mediocre at best but gets way too much credit for this. They had to add an amendment to the Constitution to put an end to FDR so he couldn't have been that great or they would have wanted him back for a 5th term.

One of the greatest Presidents and statesmen in American history.
