Hitler was defeated by one of the greatest Democratic runs (20 years) in modern era.FDR began it and Truman saw it through seeing great economic prosperity and it reflected in the Autos made by GM.....and all the while pulling the US out of depression caused by the overspeculating right wing who did not then, and does not now, believe in building with tangibles.(utter indifference to US automakers today) The right wing speculation in the Real Estate market caused this current economic crisis and it is Obama who is bringing back tangible growth.
