Speaking of worshipping FDR...

When I was a little boy (early 1960's), I remember my great-grandmother had a framed photo of FDR hanging in the dining room of their home.

My grandfather, whom I never met, was born around 1870- 1880 and later served in the Secret Service. He was on the White House detail under Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson. My mother used to tell me he'd say "This country will curse the day that man (FDR) was elected President". While the media has of course made FDR and icon, and there's no doubt he's admired by most, there were fewer that loved him at the time than it is portrayed today.
