Two Men from Different Times So Much of the Same

It is said that Barack Obama and Franklin Roosevelt are different men from different times, but I believe that they are so much the of the same because of their beliefs and choices for the economy and th affect they had on this country before and while in office. Obama and Roosevelt came into leadership of the country when it was at it's worse, started the process of bringing it back up to the great country it had the possibility to be, and maintained their kind and loveable posture all the while.

Back in the 1930's, Roosevelt would get onto the radio stations and talk to the people about what he's doing, done, and plan to do in office for the country. Those were called fireside chats. He came the people on a professional one-to-one basis, and that kept his popularity sky high. Everyone saw his nice and caring ways, and realized he was truly there for the country. He became well-liked and well-known all over real quick. Similar to today, Obama has involved himself with the activities of the country. He spoke to people with money as well as those without, and everyone got the feeling that he truly cared for something more than his wallet. With bumper stickers on one out of 8 cars supporting his presidency, Obama has kept his name in a positive light.
Promises of change and new life was promised as soon as franklin and Barack ran for presidency. They truly had the country's better good in mind, and planned to help everyone, despite social status, class, or convictions. Franklin Roosevelt made new laws, started social security, gave rural areas better ways to survive, and helped get the United States out of the whole it seemed to have tumbled in. Barack raises and lowers taxes in some areas and for some people, has started new plans for buildings and money spending, and has begun to change the path the army has taken in a foreign country for reasons varied. [idk]. They both promised changed, and worked for just that as soon as they hit office.

In the 30's, the poor was ignored, used and abused, and not looked after by their own government. In the 2000's, the poor have got into the same pit of hopelessness and struggle becuase the countries seems to worry about 'bigger issues'. Barack Obama and Franklin Roosevelt noticed that, and took quick, swift action to solve and help detour that from ever happening again. With new laws, and new bills, new money, buildings, and taxes, these two presidents did what they could to change it all.
