It's almost laughable

Ronald Dworkin recommends the following words of FDR to Mr. Obama. They come from a campaign speech of 1936.

For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up. We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred. I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master.

I've emphasized the last two sentences because of the differences between the first administration of FDR and that of Obama. In his first administration Roosevelt created the CCC, RFC, SEC, AAA, TVA, WPA.  Social Security came into being and prohibition went out. GNP grew 32% from 1932 to 1936. Unemployment was down 25%. In his first administration, Obama got the new health law passed. Otherwise, he, more or less, carried out GW's agenda.

And Dworkin writes "We now have a President we can admire and respect." Really? Is there much hope that there will be significant change under our current president?
