Alpheus Geer praises President Roosevelt for the good work he has done while in office, and compares him to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. While these presidents received criticism during their time in office, they are now looked upon as the best, and Geer predicts the same will happen for Roosevelt in the wake of the financial crisis.
