He's nowhere near the champion, FDR.
FDR instituted a "STATE OF EMERGENCY" that bypassed the constitution (still in effect!), confiscated all the gold money under threat, duress and coercion, and criminalized the possession of constitutional money by "free" Americans.
In addition, his "Social Security" program effectively destroyed all vestiges of private property, and planted the seeds for the current "benevolent" bankrupt collectivist totalitarian police state, complete with masked, anonymous SWAT (Yankee Storm Troopers).
When Americans embraced the notion that it was a good thing for government to "take" from one to "give" to another, they sealed their doom. How else would government enforce such an abomination? Wheedle "Pretty please, with sugar on top"? Nope. It was enforced with mandatory taxes, licenses, prohibitions, and violations of rights.
All presidents and administrations since FDR have continued to advance socialism in America, which makes BHO an unpleasant but compliant stooge for the covert Powers ruling America.

War and Emergency Powers Acts
"A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years (as of the report 1933-1973), freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency."
FREEDOMS ... GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION ... HAVE BEEN ABRIDGED BY LAWS ... UNDER EMERGENCY RULE ...
Constitutional U.S.A. (1787 - 1933) R.I.P.
. . .
Americans have lived under a two party perpetually indebted benevolent communist totalitarian police state dictatorship using emergency rules for 83 years (as of 2016) ... and still haven't a clue that the constitutional government has been dead since 1933.
We’re on the threshold of the final transition to the People’s Democratic Socialist Republic of America.
KUDOS to the WORLD’S GREATEST PROPAGANDA MINISTRY.
