The left in the 1930s called FDR a Wall Street sellout to bankers. Now they love him. Sounds just like some current Presidential candidates

Goes to show that we dont have a long memory. Listening to the left now, you'd think they always adored FDR.

FDR was wealthy, he put bankers in his administration, and he had ties to Wall Street. Liberals in the 1930s hated him. They love him now

FDR proves that you can have ties to Wall Street, be rich, and still get progressive things done. He is top 5 ever but point stands

Today's liberals call Hillary and Obama Wall Street sellouts. Perhaps the liberals in the 2080s will see them as progressive heroes

Liberals complaining about Presidents not being left enough is a centuries old thing.

Bernie Sanders fans would do well to look at the 1930s versions of themselves, who believed FDR was a rich corrupt Wall Street shill
