FDR was reelected in the depths of a depression, the voters don’t blame a popular President for not solving big problems fast.. If the economy is still tanking in 2 years, things will change.

The Great Depression was still going full blast until December 1941 despite all that FDR and his Brain Trust could do; It was Hirohito and Adolf Hitler that got us out of the Great Depression.

Unfortunately for CBBHO’s attempt to channel FDR, we no longer have much of an industrial base to serve as a recovery engine. We rely on other countries for most of our manufactured goods, and for much of our agricultural produce. I don’t think the combined efforts of 1,700,000 journalists, Harvard School of Public Policy apparatchiks and yuppie bond traders can pull us out of this death spiral.

Well, maybe one of Rahm Emanuel’s button men will get caught breaking into Republican HQ, and then …
