How Hard Can it be to Lead a Country?

Hmm...which president do I admire the most? How about honest Abe? Maybe George Washington, the first President of the United States? Although, Franklin D. Roosevelt is also a good one. Oh! How about our 44th president, Barack Obama?

I admire a lot of them. I mean, I have at least some respect for anyone who lead our country. That's a pretty hard job to manage. I can feel myself grow older when I think of the thought. Yeah, I know that some didn't do very well in leading their country, and all of them fumbled at some point in time during their presidency. Although, they did step up to the plate to take on the challenge. That, for which, I can greatly admire.

The one that I find the most admirable though...I don't know. I have a lot of favorites. I guess that I'll randomly choose one with a generator.

That person is...!!!

Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The generator made a fine choice.

Of course, the achievement I most greatly admired that he did was probably pulling us out of the Great Depression or helping us through WWII (even though he died near the end). He pulled us out of that economic disaster with his leadership.

How about his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt?!?! That woman is amazing! If I wasn't supposed to be writing about the Presidents I would have surely wrote about her instead.

Not to mention, he was rather supportive about certain things like Women's Rights or the right to vote.

However, some opinions he kept to himself due to how complicated politics can be and what not. Not everyone was ready to hear such idealistic ideas at that time. Even then, he still led the country with all he had.

I mean, he was the first president with a significant physical disability (Polio or Guillain-Barre Syndrome, I'm not quite sure)! He pushed through a lot of problems and suffering to get where he was.

That even includes leading the U.S. to victory in WWII. If being president during the Great Depression was hard, imagine being president during WWII! That must have been a living nightmare. However, he must've done a rather significant job since he was elected for four terms. Well, close to four. He died in office before the war ended during his fourth term.

Imagine how tired and stressed he was in leading a country through almost four terms which involved significant events like the Great Depression or WWII?!?! I don't know how he does it.

I mean, he still had quite a few fumbles during his presidency *cough* pulling out the New Deals too early, bad deal between him and Stalin near the end of the war *cough*, but, overall, he did very well.
