FDR: "I welcome their hatred"

[ChiciB1]

22. Oh YES, MaMa Has Been Mentioned Many Times

especially in the previous episodes. But regarding FDR, if one has watched from the first episode he actually was referred to as a snob and his Harvard buddies who later hate him, were quite chummy for a long time.

I've learned quite a lot about him that I never knew, but tonight's episode is beginning to show the FDR we've heard about and all he accomplished. The dynamics between him and "the Mrs." is really interesting and all this inside story is FASCINATING! AND, I also learned that The Crash happened on the date of my birthday way back then. I never knew that.

Learning so much, this is a GREAT DOCUMENTARY and I would love to purchase the DVDs, but right now my budget isn't allowing for splurges.

I wonder if they will run this again... anyone missing this will probably kick themselves for doing so. One of the very best that Ken Burns has ever done. The 2 hours go by so fast and I don't want it to stop. I'm seeing what went on back then as close to what is happening now. BUT we don't HAVE FDR or an active Congress that he had! Also, we as a society are so fractured and materialistic!

We're much more on track of the fall of the Roman Empire.

ANYWAY, this is great TV, I wonder how he handles Pearl Harbor and how much FDR knew about this!
