    Since he can't make any decisions on military practices - he wouldn't have been able to to decide to drop "the bomb" on Hiroshima. This would have won a Nobel Peace prize for him but lost the war in Japan. A delayed decision to send in artillery and support in North Africa would have lost this continent to Rommel's Afrika Korps and Germany. He would have made Patton wait a few months to storm Italy. D-Day would be held off a few months so the German Beach defenses could be reinforced and assure a German victory. He would convince our Russian allies to wait til spring to "dig in" and hold the Germans at bay. SO the outcome would be that an Austrian/German Governor would run California and the Japanese would literally own Hawaii. Our country would become National Socialist. English as a second language would become the rule.

    Osama could not have been president during WWll because the general population still knew right from wrong and had moral principles.

    I can tell you that the US would not have had Japanese in the military like we do while fighting the muslims. Japanese did not have the freedoms and protections that muslims do now while fighting muslims around the world.

    The bottom line is that the lies of political correctness did not and could not have existed.

    So we would still speak english.

    ve allied with union of soviet socialists republiic and the war would have lasted no longer, and because of the cuban missiles everyone would have ******* died, because he is a socialist rep. alot of concentration would have gone in to defeating the fascist dictators and we would be all much better right now not thinking about how everyone hated the USSR, there would ahve been no to little issues around the ron curtain and obama wouldn't have felt insecure about the soviet invasion of western germany, it all would have went together sooo well

    Strange question.

    President Obama and FDR are quite similar politically, so I don't think many things would be different.

    Not sure but I am sure that he would not have gotten involved in this war.
