As did my maternal grandfather. Grandpa reacted to FDR much as I do to BHO, and with many of the same naughty words.
Tradition!

My maternal grandfather was a New Deal Democrat who actually met FDR on gov’t business, and my grandfather became disenchanted with the whole thing and started voted Republican.
I knew a very nice old woman at my first real professional job - she was a secretary there - who obviously adored FDR. She said, and I remember this 20 years on, “he cared for the working man”. Amazing how they fall for that claptrap. The man was an arrogant overprivileged haughty phony.
My Grandmother, whose only two sons were mentally and physically scarred by WWII, danced (literally) in the street in front of her house when she learned that FDR had croaked. She was a very fundamentalist Christian and thought dancing would send you to hell, but took a chance.
