FDR was really the only slightly good (post-Lincoln) US president. And that was really only because he knew heads were going to start rolling if the government didn't throw some bones to the working class.

    I don't really have an opinion on it, I think it's a meaningless aphorism.

    I think he was saying the line between FDR and the other presidents is so wide that calling anyone else progressive by comparison would essentially be changing what it means to be progressive.
