  • SamGeorge:

    He is my hero

  • AdrianBowman:

    The date is incorrect. This was the last time a president was inaugurated in March. This speech was actually given MARCH 4, 1933…..not January 20, 1933.

    NICE JOB C-SPAN!

  • Jim:

    @MaiLingDolly thank god he did , otherwise today’s American’s would all be in the poor house–except the 1 percent of course. you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

  • Fernando:

    @ScienceFindsGod Right. The average American would be in the poor house if it hadn’t been for FDR and his talented team.

  • Terrance:

    @MrDashingjustin Amen to that brother!!!

  • Paul:

    This is the COMPLETE SPEECH! Very Important I do not know why someone would want to listen to half of a speech or 30 seconds of one.

  • Morris:

    the president that was branded the name “a traitor to his class” because he cut the taxes of the poor and raised it to the rich

  • Brent:

    I like how as soon as he became president, he started bitching people out for being stupid. haha  Goooooooo FDR :)

  • Kirk:

    This man over saw the two biggest disasters in our history the great depression and ww2. Took on the coporate elite and helped begin the rise of the middle class. He did more in his first 100 days than most Presidents do in two terms.

  • Kyle:

    FDR was a horrible president. He didn’t care about the Constitution or our constitutional rights. He signed the Japanese internment order, which detained Japanese Americans indefinitely, stripping away their constitutional rights, especially their right to due process and equal treatment under the law. And here I see people praising him? Disgusting. He’s like the Obama of today, False Hope and lack of understanding of what got us into this mess.

  • Clifford:

    @MaiLingDolly We have so many programs to protect average citizens from the criminal capitalists who will always pursue immoral gains behind closed doors; who will gladly destroy the lives of millions of other people in order to satisfy their own greed for dynasty.

  • Michael:

    @ghghghgh658 Because he was a masterful politician. He came to power at a time when this country was very much ion dire economic straits. What is always a sure way to get elected? Promise the electorate SOMETHING. He offered jobs programs, price controls, labor boards, and a host of other programs that had mass popular appeal. However, all those programs expanded the power and reach of government. This was a tragedy, as it runs afoul of the idea of limited government.

  • Larry:

    @ghghghgh658 Unanimously might I add.

  • Rodney:

    @MaiLingDolly If he was the worst then why was the U.S on top after him and why was he elected four times?

  • Stanley:

    @Ssgtusmc0629 I stand corrected, he was a lawyer as you said. However, he was not very intelligent and a fuckin’ asshole as president. One of the main reasons we have so many ridiculous social programs was because of his beliefs that would have made the great James Madison or Jefferson roll over in their graves.

  • Frederick:

    @MaiLingDolly He did leave law school AFTER PASSING THE BAR. The point of law school is to ready you for that specific test. He also got his BA from Harvard in just 3 years.You know a couple of buzz words and think you know it all.

  • Jose:

    @roseselavyy “If his policies were so bad why was he then elected 3 times?”

    Because he made people feel good. He was a soothing voice on the radio. He was a great speaker. He made people think they were getting out of the depression.

    The fact is, though, he interned Japanese American citizens, grossly abused presidential powers, expanded the federal government to unprecedented levels, took further steps of getting off the gold standard, and, in fact, prolonged the great depression.

  • Tom:

    One of the worst fucking presidents we ever had, a complete asshole. He was not very intelligent, domineering, and expanded the power of the federal government and the executive branch immensely, subverting the meaning of the Constitution in the process. Dumbass also dropped out of law school because he couldn’t hack it.

  • Terry:

    And plus half of you commenting on this probably never took your highschool U.S. History class and passed it. So you uneducated savages can read up before you start posting nonsense
    

  • Andy:

    First of all I would like to thank whoever put this video on Youtube. As I was scrolling through the comments I noticed many individuals bogging down THE best president this nation has ever known. If he had not been elected this country would probably be in worse shape than it is already. The programs he set up for your grandparents and relatives made them survive in one of the worst periods of American history. So to those calling him a “cripple/commie/bastard” can go to hell.

  • Cody:

    @thenextrung – Grandpa was a commie sympathizer.

  • Ralph:

    @theinsaneworld – Commie Cripple Bastard

  • Maurice:

    Commie Cripple. I want to go to his grave, excavate his coffin, get it out, open it, and piss on him.
