a photoshop something and he had a cap on his head and a cigarette holder and the cover was, franklin delano obama, and there was some thought obama was going to usher in a new new deal. well, in fact, a lot of obama process supporters hoped that was exactly what was going to happen, but it wasn't going to happen. because things were bad but not bad enough. if you recall, when obama was elected, the unemployment rate was 6%. and wall street was teetering and nobody knew whether it was going to go over the edge or not. what this meant was that he had a huge challenge -- he had to deal with bad economic times. but unlike franklin roosevelt, they were not so bad that he was free to do what ever he wanted. franklin roosevelt was elected after the country had been in a full-blown depression for two and a half years. and in part because of this, americans generally gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wanted to do. he could do no wrong because things were so bad, they couldn't get worse. obama had in mind that there were some major changes to the american financial system, to the american syst

distinguish it from but relate it to a harder time in our history, the great depression of the 19 30z, franklin delano roosevelt was elected to -- president roosevelt responded with a plan designed to put americans back to work building america. quite literally fdr's stimulus program built america, they built roads, bridges, cities, state parks. next time you're in a state park look for a plaque inside that state park saying when that lovely welcome center got built, there's a good chance it got built during the great depression. but in 1937, eight years into the great depression, fdr turned his attention to cutting the nation's deficit. president roosevelt had been convinced that the nation could no longer afford his recovery efforts, that instead of continuing to attack unemployment, they decided they need to attack the deficit. boy did they, great success there and great time this week, bruce bartlett points out they cut the deficit by 17% in two years, so yes, they attacked the deficit, but in so doing they also attacked the economy. growth had been strong in 1934, 1935, 1936 while the government
