Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945), considered by many to be one of the greatest American Presidents, was the 32nd president of the United States of America, following [[Herbert Hoover]] and preceding [[Harry Truman]]. Roosevelt was a member of the [[Democratic Party]]. He was elected four times and served a few months longer than 3 terms, from 1933-1945, the longest any one man has been president of the United States. He was elected amidst the uncertainty of the [[Great Depression]]. After the Japanese attack on [[Pearl Harbor]], he entered the United States into the Second World War on the side of the Allied Forces. Finally, in April 12, 1945, Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage, due partly to the crippling disease, [[polio]]myelitis, which physically disabled him during his presidency.<ref>http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/fr32.html</ref>

Although Mr. Roosevelt was very popular due to the languishing depression and then World War II, his policies directly opposed those favored by conservatives. Mr. Roosevelt started the second wave of the massive expansion of the Federal Government and greatly increased the policies of foreign aid. Although some of these policies were forced due to the incredible circumstances of the great depression and devastation of WWII <ref>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/32_f_roosevelt/printable.html</ref>.
