I cannot say that I either hate or like FDR. His policies have been both good and bad in my opinion. His bad ideas such as angering those at war have irritated me greatly however. An example of this was his decision to cut assets to Japan. As we all know this ended up in a devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. It's only common sense to know that when you upset an enemy, nothing is going to go well for you...especially in the timeline of a war. Japan relied on those supplies for war. Now I'm not saying that Japan deserves supplies from America, but it was a poor decision to anger Japan. If this policy was to of worked, it would of been smart to declare war as well.
One of his ideas that pleased me was his decision to invite Churchill to be a strong friend of America. Their Atlantic Charter plan was genius and was a big bonus to befriending Churchill.
All in all I'm not sure if i completely agree with FDR, but he has done good for us.
