Ok guys. You are going to have to explain FDR to us youngins. In fact, I wasn't born for 20 more years after FDR died.

Good Lord, don't they teach any History in school these days. I'd have imagined they'd portray his election as the Second Coming, if that weren't so non-PC. :)

You've got an Internet connection, Google him.

But just in case you *really* need help, FDR stands for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, cousin of the real President Roosevelt, Theodore (Teddy).

< Actually FDR was a pretty good wartime leader, knowing enough to know that he didn't know squat about things military, and mostly leaving all but Grand Strategy, which is more political than military anyway, to the Generals and Admirals.
