Who was the U.S. President that gave the Four Freedoms Speech?

The Four Freedoms speech was performed by president Franklin D. Roosevelt on the 6th of January, 1941. He spoke about the main freedoms people from all over the world should enjoy, and his statements composed one of the most memorable speeches in the history of the country. These four freedoms he highlightened were:

freedom of speech
freedom of worship
freedom from want
freedom from fear

The president mentioned that not all the Americans are able to enjoy these freedoms, and, of course, not every country on the planet is able to provide its citizens with the proper conditions. The president was sure: every country had an obligation to defend the Four Freedoms at home and, moreover, expand them everywhere, not stopping at its own borders.

Thanks for the question, Hitman. You always do great questions. Wish we really had those four freedoms right now!

So much for 'freedom from fear.' We have a candidate for president who sells nothing but fear. While at the same time offering nothing in the way of a solution.

Athena Watson, religion does not give anybody the right to meddle in the life decisions of others. Thou shalt keep thy religion to yourself.

Scott Shelton, many people, even in the U.S., are not free of want (actually, of basic needs). I am not free of fear. My biggest fear is of evil (including corruption) which defines our government.

Brenda Sweeten It appears right now that the Freedom to Worship is certainly in danger as is the Freedom of Speech. You can try to excercise those freedoms if you don't mind getting the sh** kicked out of you.

Total opposite of what we have now in the White House.

David Coe

A great President, how we could do with him now..

Daniel Halley, How about this... A guy who says things in the country are so bad that "I alone can fix this." The only fear selling I see from Hillary is fear of Trump. And that is quite easy for people to get on their own, if they are paying attention.

Kerem Oner, I call what's in there now a Socialist.. Being for the people is a good thing. Being for slavery to the rich and elite is a bad thing that was supposed to went out with slavery. I notice that the true socialist rich elite welfare are fighting tooth and nail to keep it that way other than Bloomberg and Steyer..Looks as if they are shooting for Putin's way..

Ben Totuous, Amen

Ben Totuous, exactly and tries to push his evilingelicals religion as well who know nothing even about the big 10. Yet claims to know so much about and practice Christianity.. I beg to differ yet that said the branch they split off from the Evangelicals are good people with sound judgements who do follow Christianity.

L Lh Adams, yes bring the freedom of fear at loss to the rest of us..Freedom of religion also means I don't have to practice yours I have my own. Which is why in Government we have Separation of Church and State which means our laws are not made by any religion even those of wild gun toters.
