Actually,this lowlife was pretty decent in foreign policy.He fought WW2 to win,and would accept no less than surrender on their part.3 sources of controversy
1.He knew about Pearl Harbor.We are talking about FDR here so I would not put anything past this idiot.I also believe he intentionally kept Americans in harm's way to justify the war.And guess what?The moment those filthy bastards droped the bomb on us,the war was justified.
2.He did not do enough to stop the holocaust.OK,he WAS an Anti Semitic fleabag.But he DID let a lot of Jewish people in before the war.Also,he felt that the best way to stop the holocaust was to defeat Hitler,so I cannot kill him there.As Ruth Graber,a holocaust survivor says.."God sent us an angel in Roosevelt..."
3.Tooclose to Stalin.Gee,ya think?Even there,I can sort of excuse him.We had a war to win.Sometimes,you have to make a deal with the devil to win a war.And clown#1 made a deal with clown #2.I am sure that in the president's desire to win WW2,he'd have made a deal with anyone.
One more little riff here.If I were alive at the time,YOU BET I'd have rooted for America and even the bozo in the White House.I take a back seat to few(well,Big baby says some GREAT things regarding this overrated oaf,therefore,I'll take a back seat to the baby)in my utter contempt for Roosevelt,but my love for America supersedes my dislike for any president.Besides,partisanship stops at the water's edge.Some liberals can learn something here.You say you do not like Bush?That's OK.A lot of folks feel the same way.A lot of people who love this country deeply hate the war.That is fine,also.But while we ARE at war,I think we should ALL hope America wins and some should not let their dislike of W stop them from rooting for the USA to win!
