Do you see any similarities between FDR and Obama as leaders? What about similarities between the economic challenges faced then and now? Compare and contrast the two presidents and their responses to economic issues during their administrations.
Well, I know that both Obama and FDR are both president during a econmic crisis. FDR had to deal with the Great Depression and made the New Deal. Obama is in a similar condition in that he has to help the automobile industry from bankrupcy.
Can anyone help me add to this?
