I'm sorry, you don't be a sleaze ball, a known sleaze ball, and become successful at politics anyway without the hand of Jews. He's a politician isn't he. What does that tell you? Yes, he was opposition to FDR, but what have we already learned about opposition? It doesn't mean shit.
This is like praising Mitt Romney because he was opposition to Obama. If Mitt Romney was killed during or shortly after the campaign turns out you would be worshiping him.
"Oh, but there were other indicators that Romney sucks even before his post election career." Yeah, and there are indicators in this case, namely that he was a mobster. Are you going to let that be relevant? If not you would be praising Mitt Romney right now.

Also, he built the Mississippi river bridge in baton rouge very low, so ships would have to stop and unload there instead of bringing all those unloading jobs and ports further north.
