I found this looking up FDR and New Deal stuff.
This gentleman knows a lot about some New Deal projects and shows some amazing old pictures from a New Deal era govt pamphlet.
Toward the end he speaks of Obama and I thought his commentary about the struggle he is facing was very relevant for the challenges we face to rebuild the nation.
It is worth sitting through if you are into FDR era history. (What Democrat isn't?)

Enjoy DUers!

3. I thought it was great, a bit slow at first, but well worth it as all this history starts to unfold
Quite a random find, sometimes youtube will pop up with amazing stuff.

A bit of Socialism is what it took to save our Capitalist system.

We all have a lot to be grateful for in FDRs work.
