He was a child of wealth and privilege elected 4 times to the highest office in the land, only to rule as if a king. His misfortune was polio, that he kept hidden from the American people out of fear that they would see him as weak and reject him. Far worse for the country was his narcissistic personality disorder.
Truly, if he felt he really had to hide the polio, something was wrong. Something that could have been a boon for the cause of the handicapped was hidden under a barrel.
And it would have been such a rich historical irony, with the fellow at the head of the “Life Unworthy of Life” movement being handed his head by a president in a wheelchair. But he didn’t know about that until well, well into his charade which was now carrying his life.
So many circumstances go unutilized to their best potential because people are proud and will not lay their lives before God to give Him glory.
