In the previous post, our story of the Four Freedoms, we last presented FDR's explanation of the "...basic things expected by our people of their political and economic systems .... These are:
Equality of opportunity for youth and for others.
Jobs for those who can work.
Security for those who need it.
The ending of special privilege for the few.
The preservation of civil liberties for all.
The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living."
According to the FDR these are "...the simple, the basic things that must never be lost sight of in the turmoil and unbelievable complexity of our modern world. The inner and abiding straight (strength) of our economic and political systems is dependent upon the degree to which they fulfill these expectations."
FDR also enumerated the Four Freedoms. They are:

FDR also enumerated the Four Freedoms. They are:
- First Freedom of Speech and Expression
- The second is Freedom of Every Person to Worship God in His Own Way
- The third is Freedom from Want (which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings, which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants.)
- Finally the fourth is Freedom From Fear (which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor...near or far.)

Are you equating the current president with FDR? The speech he gave last night was good. In fact he's much better when he's scripted, but he's no Roosevelt by no means! For one thing Franklin Roosevelt was bright and articulate.
Let's not go overboard because the president has accepted responsibility for once in his life. Time will tell if he's dedicated to rebuilding and restoring an American treasure such as New Orleans. He's the one who allowed the artifacts in Iraq, the cradle of civilization, to be pillaged, plundered and all but destroyed. We shall see.
