TR lived in a world of child labor, 10 hour workdays, railroad employees who were fired with no benefits if they were injured on the job, etc, etc,.

Not at ALL the situation that exists today.

TR was a great man and you have to judge him by the context of the times in which he was living, not by some nutjob analysis by Glenn Beck.

Some of what he did from a strictly Constitutional perspective was unorthodox, but again, judge the guy by his times, not by 21st socialist lunatics.

He was a great man.
