He finally did the right thing, but 47 years too late.

On the other hand, from NH, in a couple of years I may have the chance to “anoint” him, which would be a joyful thing.,

I’ll bet they are prepared for his fans’ “anointing” — watch out for an electrified gravetop. ;-)

In a few months, with the help of ACORN, he’ll be up and voting again.

Many years ago, my grandfather was accosted at a rural post office by a local woman and FDR fan. This was in April 1945 and news just reached them about FDR's passing in Warm Springs, Georgia.

At the time, my grandparents had only my aunt at home, then 12 years old. Father was serving in the Pacific, his brother was serving in Germany, another brother had died on the battlefield just the year before and my other aunt was a clerk for the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. In other words, everyone in the family who was old enough to serve was doing so. Grandpa and grandma were both in their 50's. Both had enthusiastically worked for FDR's first election in 1932 and both had grown so deeply disillusioned that they had voted Republican for the first time the year before.

This woman grabbed Grandpa's arm and wailed "Oh, Grant, wouldn't you say FDR died for our country just like our boys in uniform did?"

Grandpa looked at her and said "Yeah, but he should have done it 12 years ago!"
