FDR

/role model is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the thirty-second president of the United States. Not only was he a great president, making unbelievably good decisions while in office, he was a greater man, making him a classic example of a hero/role model.
             There have not been too many truly great presidents, but of the ones that are considered exceptional it is almost impossible to say which one deserves the honor of being the greatest. There could not of been a greater man in control of the newly born republic than George Washington; without him who knows what may have happened to this great nation. It could very possibly have been in shambles in its first ten years. Then there was the pro-agrarian Thomas Jefferson, who doubled the land owned by the U.S., and somehow kept a restless country from any major type of conflict. And then there was the all mighty Abe Lincoln. Without him who knows how long slavery would have lasted. But to me none are greater and more important to their time than FDR. He was the only president to ever serve more than two terms in office, by serving four. This shows just how much confidence the people had in him to perform the task of presidency better than any one else. He also kept the U.S. out of World War II as long as possible, but did not hesitate to enter when it became absolutely necessary. Though these are two great achievements to his credit, they don't even compare to the accomplishment that he is really remembered for and what makes him the greatest preside
