Barack Obama makes Franklin Delano Roosevelt comparison

(Politico) - After being introduced at the DNC fundraiser at the Beverly Hills Hilton by famed producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, President Barack Obama compared himself to FDR.

"I would put these first four months up against any prior administration since FDR," Obama said. "We didn't ask for the challenges that we face, but we don't shrink from them either."

Katzenberg had a theatrical way of describing the president in his introduction.

"If you look in the dictionary under 'grace under fire,' it will say Barack Obama," he said.
