Roosevelt "called him home" only after Churchill said "get this worthless scumbag out of my sight".

It wasn't just Joseph Kennedy. In the 1920's and 30's, it was increasingly looking like the only choices for Europe were Communist or Fascist governments, and, right or wrong, many in the upper and middle classes saw Fascism as the lesser evil. Their thinking was that they may lose their political and social liberties under Fascism, but at least they would get to keep their property.
