"Both FDR and Bush viewed power as most effectively wielded with a bludgeon and as a means to transform the economic order, legal system and even the map of the world to suit their visions. They didn't care whether the American people, much those who voted against them, agreed with what they did. Their disdain for the people they served allowed them to achieve their goals."

the key difference is the FDR wielded his power for GOOD and * wields his for evil. They are from the same mint but opposite sides of the coin, as it were.
