Some 65 years ago, as World War II raged in Europe and the Pacific, the American people faced an unprecedented constitutional crisis of which they were completely unaware — and which has remained a secret ever since.
It has long been known that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, during the last year of his life, was gravely ill with serious cardiac problems: He'd been diagnosed with acute heart failure in March 1944 and suffered from astronomically high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis.
But what the public did not know was that four years earlier, while still in the second of his four terms as president, FDR had been diagnosed with a deadly skin cancer, melanoma, in a lesion over his left eyebrow.
This disease would metastasize to Roosevelt's abdomen and his brain, causing a tumor that eventually killed him on April 12, 1945.

I wonder what history will reveal about Obama long after we are all gone.
Dr. Steven Lomazow, a veteran neurologist, and I reached this conclusion — and others about Roosevelt’s health — after a five-year investigation, the findings of which are in our new book, “FDR’s Deadly Secret.” How can we be certain? After all, Roosevelt’s doctors always denied he had cancer, no autopsy was performed and, save for a few lab slips, FDR’s medical file disappeared after his death.
Just another lying commie ‘Rat.....
Probably suffering from some STDs or suffering from heart disease because he is smokes
Many of us still wonder what Bill Clinton was hiding.
four years earlier, while still in the second of his four terms as president, FDR had been diagnosed with a deadly skin cancer, melanoma, in a lesion over his left eyebrow.
What an egomaniac.
From what I have read and been told by those who were alive then, it was no secret that FDR was circling the drain and that is the primary reason why Wallace was dumped on the 1944 ticket and replaced with Truman.
However, even on his deathbed, FDR could run a world war and win.
Looks like that swimsuit didn't cover enough.
The prospect of a Henry Wallace presidency frightened even FDR.
That is just not the case.
If FDR had stepped aside, Henry Wallace would have had the Democratic nomination and would have won the election of 1944 and that would have been a disaster.
Instead, FDR dumped Wallace and picket the much more conservative Truman to inherit the presidency.
Yep .. apparently most all of them lie.
Few men of true integrity, whose life,
within personal privacy rights and
job impact, is an open book.
Yes, see post 11.
FDR had to run for a 4th term.
How much damage did this one man do over his 4 terms in office.
We will likely never know.
Like winning a World War?
There's some thread around here where an author incorrectly stated that some people wonder if BHO has Parkinsons --- but that is inaccurate. It turns out that BILL CLINTON HAS A FINGER TREMOR which is one of the first presenting symptoms of Parkinson's Disease -- however Clinton has been examined by neurologists who claim he does NOT have PD.
...damage, ...well, he set a bad ball rollin’ that’s been picking up speed ever since.
But that Commie was one of the greatest liars of history. New Deal my ass. It took 60 years but HIS policies have evolved into what we have today. Thanks for the mess you Marxist jackass.
Which “finger” did Billy Clinton have a problem with? I wasn’t sure it was located on either of his hands....but I digress.
