FDR was the worst President ever. Let's jump right to concentration camps for Americans of Japanese descent. It doesn't get any better the more you look at what he actually did rather than the propaganda.
@sda Disagree, of course, with the first statement; a question of opinion and familiarity with the many obnoxious men who sometimes were in the position of presiding over the US.
For me, the current one has a big shot at the Top title.
The Japanese internment camps were indeed a shame, inhumane and caused a lot of pain and losses for all the people hearded into them. Truthfully, not a good moment on FDR's administrations.

So... dropping not one, but two nuclear weapons on hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children was one of his better moments?
Being "obnoxious" doesn't even come close to that level of malevolence.
@design_RG
FDR may not have been around to actually "pull the trigger," but after building the gun and ammo, that was certainly his intent:
"The matter should continue to be regarded as of the utmost secrecy; but when a “bomb” is finally available, it might perhaps, after mature consideration, be used against the Japanese, who should be warned that this bombardment will be repeated until they surrender."
@sda That was another man, who signed on that decision, Harry Truman in fact.

And it was a criminal action, in my opinion, yes.
But the winners write the history books, at least for a time, so this hasn´t been discussed as much as it should.
