| Despite the great differences in the objectives of the two men, there are important similarities between them. The most obvious ones are in the area of personality. Both presidents had a quick smile and a pleasant air about them. People liked Roosevelt, as they did Reagan, almost without regard for his policies.... Both men led charmed political lives, in which they were praised for everything people liked, while the blame for all problems fell on others. FDR was a “Teflon president” long before Teflon was invented. After Roosevelt had won re-election to a second term, he had the temerity to point out that “one-third of the nation” was “ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.” And in his re-election campaign in 1984, Reagan continued to run against the “gov-mint,” as he disdainfully pronounced it, even after having been in charge of it for nearly four years. And Franklin Roosevelt was the first “media president,” clearly deserving the title “Great Communicator.” He charmed radio listeners much as Reagan did his television audiences. |

| As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,- Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head. |
