But this is the point. There is a particular thing going on in people's view on a president during times where the US has been attacked, so comparing people's views on FDR to Bush is actually relevant, but far more problematic when comparing to a leader that didn't have those particular dynamics in place. There is an element of fear and community that comes into the view, which is different from general idolization.
