I finally understand FDR

I had an intellectual respect for FDR. He obviously was a great president: articulate, wise, decisive. I respected Roosevelt but never really got how he inspired a nation through the depression and World War II. With the election of President Barak Obama I now understand. Over and over I am inspired by President Obama's decisions, his actions and his presence. I do not agree with some of his decisions but something about how he makes them, calms me down and makes me want to be better. I expect those living during FDRs time in the white house and listing to his fireside chats felt the same way.
