I can't say I'm surprised that a Fox News anchor twisted words, but this is pretty outrageous.
From Al Franken's Blog:

Hume turns this completely on its head. He pulls two unrelated bits out of the FDR quote, and adds the wrods "government funding" between them. Because it's so carefully done, it's clear that it's deliberate. And it's a nasty form of dishonesty. Hume is manipulating Americans' trust of FDR in order to build support for dismantling FDR's legacy.
I'm sure this isn't news to many readers here but I wanted to make sure everyone knew how exactly they could register their disgust with the proper people. Hume's misquote completely and deliberately changes the meaning of what FDR said, this should be a big story.
