Politics: Where we struggle to kneel in the muck.

Comparing Bush to Roosevelt is like comparing Quayle to Kennedy. Roosevelt was a master at manipulating allies and creating strategic alliances, and he risked his health, and in fact died, because he worked around the clock to get this nation through one of its worst periods (he was on a plane to meet with Churchill late in the war when doctors told him his hypertension was so high he should be nowehere near a plane).

Huh? Roosevelt waited until there was only one ally left (albeit, the ally was an empire), and even then didn't do anything. Sitting back and waiting until we were attacked, all the while basically forcing the Japanese into a bad position (oil embargo) so that they would have to attack us, and not doing a thing to ensure we would have allies available when the time came?

What the fuck are you talking about?
