And that is sad - that this man, who was one of the greatest president ever to sit in the White house - have been more or less "washed" out of the history-books - how ignorant our kids must be about the past - when they are not even learning about FDR... (Even though I think FDR are more known on the outside of the US than inside this days )

What is so "controversial" about what he did - in the 1930s he started to make progress for a better society - and under the war, he was one of the big 3 who was fighting against great odds - and who also had bad health on top of the strain a leadership in wartime was given him.. The last couple of years - was very hard for FDR - who was fighting bad health and who also had to kind of sort out the issues between himself - Winston Churchill - and not least Josef Stalin who had his own goals to settle in the Eastern part of Europe... And of course Germany... Specially the last year FDR was alive - in 1944 the strain of his bad health and the leadership as the US president had its toll of Franklin D. Roosevelt.. The pictures from Jalta in 1944 show a president who was tired - and in bad health even as he was trying to sort out the differences between Stalin and Churchill.. He never managed to do that - sort out the differences - and the early start of the Cold war - was at hand..
