Some 65 years ago, as World War II raged in Europe and the Pacific, the American people faced an unprecedented constitutional crisis of which they were completely unaware — and which has remained a secret ever since.
It has long been known that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, during the last year of his life, was gravely ill with serious cardiac problems: He'd been diagnosed with acute heart failure in March 1944 and suffered from astronomically high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis.
But what the public did not know was that four years earlier, while still in the second of his four terms as president, FDR had been diagnosed with a deadly skin cancer, melanoma, in a lesion over his left eyebrow.
This disease would metastasize to Roosevelt's abdomen and his brain, causing a tumor that eventually killed him on April 12, 1945.

Grave’s disease, IIRC.
the berry alongside his nose contains the brain of Karl Marx, which dictates policy.
No mention of his syphilis of the brain.
Kennedy had Addison’s disease.
Well, Dolphie did throw the first punch against Joseph. After that we were just lookin fer a way in.
like bringing marxism to America?
like turning a recession into a great depression?
like hiding the known facts...and letting our fleet be decimated at Pearl Harbor?
PLEASE FDR was a major POS!!!
Addison’s disease
I do not recall whether it was his left hand or his right hand. He was interviewed by Dr. Sanjay Gupka on the CNN Larry King show. I did not watch this show, but I read several articles about when I did a google search to try and find ANY information about BHO suspected of having Parkinson’s Disease. There was nothing about BHO, but there was scads about Bill Clinton, because so very many people have noticed that he has was is the typrical presenting symptom of early Parkinson’s Disease — a parkinsonian tremor in his finger(s.) IF it is PD, soon he will have a hand tremor.
Leading up to the War there were many minority party isolationists in Washington that wanted no part of the war in Europe while FDR wanted to intervene. Of course, that debate was ended once Pearl Harbor was attacked and Hitler declared war on the United States.
And yes, Yalta was a disaster.
And if the GOP were able to find half way decent candidates on 1932, 1936, 1940 or 1944, FDR might not have won four consecutive landslides and we would not have had all the Socialist Nonsense of the New Deal.
And in the 64 years since FDR died we have had 36 years of Republicans in the White House and those FDR New Deal Socialist programs have continued to expand even under the most conservative of administrations.
I’ve seen some of those photographs of the righthand side of BHO’s scalp, near the back of his head -— don’t you find it very strange, though, that no such photos emerged from his campaign???
>>Little wonder that we routinely see you showing up on other threads running interference for Obama. Get lost.<<
You’re not the only one that see that. Spot on!
Yes, and that Marxism in America has continued to expand no matter who was in the White House or who was in control of Congress.
I read another book about the incredible lengths to which FDR went to conceal his handicaps, including the very difficult and painful measures he took to be seen standing or walking when necessary. I must admit it inspired a certain admiration. Our world today is so full of whiners who are all too eager to wear their personal difficulties on their sleeves. So politics aside, I have to tip my cap to a man with the fortitude to maintain a strong front while literally dragging himself through his daily life.
Yes, I am in full agreement with you on that and you also illustrate the bigger picture which is that no matter who is in office, the government expands at an exponential rate.
“We will likely never know.”
I think the fruit of the trees he planted are becoming so ripe they stink. He was the founder of the Ivy League Communists of the Future in my book.
But he sure as hell didn’t have to run for a third!
“I was never sure what it was or if it would have been fatal had he not been shot.”
Addison’s Disease, not usually fatal with treatment.

Bingo, you win! I bet that “finger” trembles when it’s out and about and Billy’s looking over his shoulder while Hillary’s on the warpath.
