Bump for Medved the best and most knowledgeable national talk show host on the radio.

I concur!

Good points. In all fairness to FDR, and I am no fan of his, he ran the war effort with a staff of about a dozen people. How many hundreds were involved in the GulfWar skirmish with Iran?

I think we all know that Clinton didn't make his own decisions. George Stefawhatshis face makes it clear in his book that he relied on his advisors, which was a scary thing considering who they were. And then of course, there was his real boss, Hillary.

Excellent, factual post DBP. Might add that Alger Hiss was the organizational secretary of the UN. Whittaker Chambers said he didn't know a single New Dealer who was not a Communist. Of course, he had reference to his time as a Communist agent. Just thank God for James Byrnes who prevented Henry Wallace from another VP term in 1944. If Roosevelt had died just months earlier Wallace would have become President!

Great country we have isn't it? We've come so close to losing it but, always, at the right time the right person comes in and/or the voters come to their senses.

Read an account of Reagan during this era which I cannot find. It went like this: A friend of Reagan's called on him in his office and found Reagan slumped at his desk with his head in his hands. He kept saying "I don't know what is going to happen to America, I just don't know". Are you familiar with this? I believe Reagan was referring to Wallace but am not sure.
