FDR got us out of the depression by getting us into WWII, but he did certainly play a key role in winning it. However his covert intelligence operations in furtherance of involving us in the european side, and which might have been illegal in some respects, would have rated a serious congressional inquiry had they been known at the time. Nonetheless it was the right thing to do both for our longterm interests and that of the world.

Most of his domestic economic policies in the 1930s though were largely ineffectual, but he was trying and most importantly did succeed in boosting the morale of the majority who were very bad off. And although a rich man, he truly does seem to have "felt their pain", unlike Clinton who was just a huckster with no principles he would not compromise in order to get and retain power.
