Franklin D. Roosevelt 3

When I hear shouts of kill the bum at the same time people are suggesting canonization, it usually makes me think that the person in question was neither saint or demon.  As someone who did not experience the time and is leary of revisionist history of any sort, I'm putting my money somewhere in the middle of this one.

If people are simaltaneously suggesting sainthood and demonization that probably makes him a typical human being.
