Well I think so. Have you looked into the politics of his relatives who are still basking in his memory? I also remember his presidency. As a 13 year old, I sat up all night the night he was elected waiting for Cook County Ill to finally announce the vote count. Of course they didn't until they knew what the count needed to be. Crooked, crooked, crooked.
That wasn't really what I was going for there with the comment.
Communist leaders seem to have this thing that before they are "dead" within their state-controlled media, there seems to be an event kinda like this one, where the leader will have already been dead to about every doctor in the world for quite a while.
FDR and JFK don't really count. It was fairly quick with FDR after his massive stroke and JFK's death was obvious.
