Franklin D. Roosevelt

The man who sat in a wheelchair and lifted a nation out of the Great Depression and through the fire of World War II. With his "Fireside Chats," he made the Presidency a personal presence in every American home. He represents the "Pragmatic Hope," the leader who experimented with the social contract to save democracy from itself. He is the "New Deal" and the "Arsenal of Democracy," the one who reminded a fearful world that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
