Is this a big deal? The public knew he was in a wheelchair but it was not shown in newsreels or stills. The press honored FDR by not showing this but I think the public knew about his disability. In those days, the press was willing to censor itself for the “greater good”, today?

My mom said it was commonly know during the war years. The media simply waited to take pictures or film when FDR was seated in a car or had been helped up to “stand” with his braces...

Oh, they are still censoring themselves for the “greater good”. The “good” is their continued existence and the “greater good” is their judgement that obamaumao will succeed as a dictator. This is similar to the “greater good” the German press shared (w/herr Goebbels directing) in supporting Hitler.

The “press” as it were is now the internet, which of course the dictator is trying to control. Hillary did too. They all will want to, and we must stop them.

It is best to understand this as dictatorship, and not of the proletariat.

The “greater good”? Well, yes, I suppose if you consider their interpretation of the greater good. There were progressives then who were trying to help FDR to form a socialist state. Today, we have media who are all too happy to help Obamugabe go even further.

I strongly suspect that your idea of the greater good is not congruent with that of Obama or of his many supporters and enablers.
