4 stars.  His leadership during World War II was phenomenal, and even though I think his programs went too far by the mid- to late '30s and may have actually stagnated recovery, it's pretty hard not to respect the poise he held during the Great Depression.  The internment of Japanese Americans, however, was inexcusable.

Also major deduction for court-packing - though in the end FDR did get the results he wanted.
