Howlin, I think we're talking about two different people.
I was talking about FDR. He made time for enemies who had gotten media attention, because he was convinced he could win them over to his side of the fence. And he often succeeded.
Unlike most people, I've talked to several who actually met the old man (and they were very old themselves) who came away from him laughing and giggling and wondering what the hell happened.
Of course, warchild9 has yet to provide even ONE such example.
Since you're such a big FDR fan, how about naming ANYBODY he met with who had threatened to drive a stake through his heart?
