That really isn’t saying much. During his time as president they built the pentagon, made the atomic bomb, rounded up Asian people in concentration camps. In order to combat the depression his first New Deal included paying farmers to destroy crops and cull herds to raise the commodity price of food. People were starving while bourgeois land-owners were given money to destroy food.
He signed the Atlantic Charter (which was a precursor to Anglo-American global hegemony), he was part of the Bretton Woods Conference (creating the IMF and the precursor to the World Bank).
There’s just no such thing as a “good” american president because the whole nation is nothing more than a colonial imperialist project
If he wins, then no one will ever take the Nobel Peace Prize seriously again.
If people take it seriously after Obama winning, I really don’t think Zelenskyj is going to be a PR problem.
Wrong. You could go way back to Kissinger in 1973.
Or Roosevelt in 1906
FDR is said to be one of the greatest USA presidents. Enlighten me.

coughs out blood He did all that? I guess what I think of it, as UK handing over the baton to USA post WW2, is quite true.
He was, but that bar is incredibly low. And anyways i meant Theodore Roosevelt (look the date).

I looked up. He was a conservative who seemed to do some kind of extension to Monroe Doctrine, and a war in Cuba. Yeah, pretty bad.
There’s a really good chapter on the new deal in the book Settlers, that’s worth reading. It certainly changed my perspective on it.
