I feel bad about misspelling 'relationship'. Perhaps no one will notice.

I would say that the similarity was that neither Roosevelt , nor the present government (all branches) have no clue what they have on their hands. When Rossevelt toke this Oath, the darkest part of the Depression were still ahead.

Oh Gus I will never forget FDR's acceptance speech in 1936. I was happily doing chin ups in my crib. I was a little over four months old. I yelled for my mama and daddy to come listen to it on the radio.

After it was over, my mother dabbed her left eye with a tea towel made out of a cotton sack and said he better call John Kenneth Galbrath and see if he had any suggestions about how to get the economy back on track.

I still don't know why mama was so sad.
