No; my parents wouldn’t recognize it either; they were part of the Greatest Generation. My dad was a WWII combat veteran; but he had a disconnect in his thinking about the Democrat Party and FDR. He had already disliked draft dodgers worse than a dose of salts; but when Bill Clinton came along and it was revealed that he had been a draft dodger, Daddy gave him a pass. My parents always thought that the Democrat Party was more for the poor person. Daddy had lost his hearing for the most part in the war; and whenever all the scandals that Clinton was embroiled in came out, he couldn’t hear well enough to take it in.

That entire generation [with exceptions, I'm sure] had that disconnect with FDR. My parents grew up during the First Great Depression and considered him a hero -- though I think his admittedly-admirable war-leadership was a big part of it. Dad's long gone, but Mom [now 89 and a staunch conservative] still gets uncomfortable when I criticize FDR.

"We all loved him then," she says.
