Hard to say. I wasn't alive for FDR. But if he is not the most radical then he is a close 2nd to FDR's love of Marxist Socialism.

That was a radical. His successor is doing nothing more radical than trying find ways to sweep up the mess and put the broken pieces back together again.

If any nation wants to attack the US with a deadly chemical or biological weapons.. Obama said..no matter..as long as you adhere to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and have no nukes we will not harm you with nuclear bombs. Nukes are bad. America is bad.

As thousands of Americans in a major city are gagging and their lungs are on fire from mustard gas and millions are dying in the streets..from a biological attack..the offending country need not worry being attacked with a nuclear weapon because of the Obama Doctrine..

The people now know the Obama government will not use nuclear weapons to retaliate against their murderers.

This is insanity. He is the most radical.
