President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Being a leader comes with many responsibilities. The United States has had over 40 presidents, each caring special qualities. Some were great presidents and other not so great. But, in year 1933 on March 4th the best president was elected, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Without President Roosevelt we all might be speaking German. Because if we lost World War 2 than the Germans could have taken the United States over. And also with out President Roosevelt’s leadership the economy might have failed. President Roosevelt got the United States out of the great depression. And President Roosevelt has saved many lives with the major decisions he has made. President Roosevelt saved as many people as possible from the attack on Pearl Harbor. So thanks to our 32nd president we have the best country in the world.

One thing that President Roosevelt has affected is the out come of World War 2. At the beginning of the war President Roosevelt did not want to enter. His decision in not entering the war it made many people very happy, that is why President Roosevelt was reelected three times. But even the best presidents have to give into war. President Roosevelt decided to enter the United States into the war even though we just got out of the Great Depression in the 1930’s. President Roosevelt knew we were going to spend a grand amount of money for the war but, without the assistance of the United States in World War 2 Hitler and the Germans would have won the war.

President Roosevelt was elected after President Herbert Hoover. President Hoover got the United States into a crisis called “The Great Depression.” President Roosevelt led the United States out of the Great Depression by his famous slogan the “New Deal.” The New Deal was famous all over the country and all over the world. Presidents Roosevelt’s plan to get the United States out of an economy issue started with jobs. He made it so that kids under a certain age could not work and get paid because companies would higher kids that would do the same work as adults and get paid less. So, in other words companies took advantage of kids. This was known as the National Industry Recovery Act, for short “N.I.R.A.”

Another thing that President Roosevelt is known for is how he handled the attack on Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt called it “December, 7 1941 a day America will remember in infamy.” On this day over 2400 Americans were killed by Japanese air crafts. The attack on Pearl Harbor was the push that caused President Roosevelt to make the decision to enter World War 2. President Roosevelt mad the correct decision because without the assistance of the United States in the war than the Germans would have won and they would have came to America sooner or later. With knowing this President Roosevelt knew that it was the right time to inter the war because any later and it would have been way too late.

Now with know all that you need to know about President Roosevelt. How he led the United States out of the “Great Depression” that President Herbert Hoover led the United States into. President Roosevelt pulled The U.S. out by using the plan called “The New Deal.” He is also known for how he kept The United States out of the war, it caused him to be reelected three times. He also avenged the lives lost at Pearl Harbor on that direful day known as “December 7, 1941 a day we will remember in infamy.” Now, with knowing all these things the President Roosevelt did, I beet you can not think of a better President off the top of your head.
