FDR had the war to cover up his bad aspects, especially seeing how we now know the New Deal actually extended the Great Depression in America. JFK has his assassination to gloss over that he had one of the worst foreign policy disasters when he met with Khrushchev a year before and absolutely got schooled by Khrushchev, and was exposed for his inexperience, the event led to what many believed is Khrushchev believing Kennedy was a push over and could walk all over him with the Berlin Wall and Cuban Missile Crisis. And well Carter, Carter was so much of a fuck up I don't know where to begin.

With Obama I worry he might have the New Deal aspects of FDR that could continue the economic crisis long after it should be finished. The inexperience and well "noobness" of JFK that could lead Foreign leaders to think they can push him around. And the economic and environmental beliefs of Carter which brought this country to it's knees.

But in turn he could also have the Bi Partisan Economic hand and well pure luck of Clinton, the steel spine that JFK had when pushed to the breaking point, and the guts to do what is right on the Foreign Policy front that FDR had. That is the interesting part, we just don't know!
