There’s a documentary running on the History Channel about the Roosevelt presidency. Interestingly, the broadcast notes that the show is presented by the AARP (sink a social security reform bill, anyone?), while the website makes no mention of that.
It’s the 60th anniversary of FDR’s death, and we should rightly remember him as a great leader, and a great president. Despite some gaffes, among them his utter abandonment of Eastern Europe to the Soviets (chronicled well in this book about Polish flyers in the RAF, among others), FDR should be celebrated for his vision, compassion, and willingness to embrace the working man as a full partner in the American experiment.
