Depends on the criteria used to measure "greatness". If you measure the impact on future society, FDR was "great". I'm not convinced that his direction was "best", but it was not "worst".
If I am correctly reading between the lines, I think I agree if you mean that WW was NOT a great, or even a good President.

I had not considered that you meant that FDR saved from Axis fascism. There may be some merit to that statement.
