This is one of the great statements in all political history. The nation was in a mess from the Great Depression, few had any hope, and Roosevelt had replaced a President who maintained that the Federal government could not do much about these business cycles. Roosevelt did not have all the answers and of the ones he had, he was not sure they would all be effective. So in two short sentences he conveyed the fact that he will try different things, not all necessarily successful, but a steely determination and commitment to get the job done. And that is just what happened.
