[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watching the fifth episode now. It is so sad to me that, as one of the historians said, no one with physical disabilities to the extent of those faced by FDR would be elected today. His power was protected by him disguising his disability and by Americans (and press) willing to grant him that disguise. Nowadays, the press would cover every ugly aspect of it, and Americans would treat him as truly disabled. It makes me rethink the age debate that sees to crop up every presidential election cycle.[/quote]

What a strong man he was.  All those hundreds of speeches he made... just think, he was standing all those times with his heavy metal braces locked.  He was in pain the whole time, yet he gave such forceful, powerful speeches.  I admire him so much.  Eleanor too.  Such good people.[/quote]

They were an amazing couple. [/quote]

Amazing that people from the wealthy class would fight for common workers.

I cringe whenever George Will comments.   Does he even understand the irony of a newspaper conservative like himself commenting on a liberal visionaries that successfully helped workers better their lives.[/quote]
