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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss this man. We need a another FDR.

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

@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.

@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
