I admit, I loathe old Frankie the Gimp, so I may be a bit jaundiced when I say the old coot should not have run for re-election.

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.

What an egomaniac.

That is just not the case.

If FDR had stepped aside, Henry Wallace would have had the Democratic nomination and would have won the election of 1944 and that would have been a disaster.

Instead, FDR dumped Wallace and picket the much more conservative Truman to inherit the presidency.

Yep .. apparently most all of them lie.

Few men of true integrity, whose life,
within personal privacy rights and
job impact, is an open book.
