On July 18, 1940, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who first took office in 1933 as America’s 32nd president, is nominated for an unprecedented third term. Roosevelt, a Democrat, would eventually be elected to a record four terms in office, the only U.S. president to serve more than two terms.
Roosevelt was born January 30, 1882, in Hyde Park, New York, and went on to serve as a New York state senator from 1911 to 1913, assistant secretary of the Navy from 1913 to 1920 and governor of New York from 1929 to 1932. In 1932, he defeated incumbent Herbert Hoover to be elected president for the first time. During his first term, Roosevelt enacted his New Deal social programs, which were aimed at lifting America out of the Great Depression. In 1936, he won his second term in office by defeating Kansas governor Alf Landon in a landslide.

Good morning, ma'am. He was a man who loved this country. Yeah, he made some bad mistakes, like trusting Stalin, but he wanted to help re-invigorate this country.

Agree, but I don't believe he had ANY actual trust in Stalin. It was the old, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," situation. Two fronts for Germany was Hitler's ultimate downfall due to his meglomania.

SSG Bill McCoy could be but his choice for Ambassador to the USSR was very much a commie lover.

One of the pieces of history that we were taught in school by teachers that knew what they were doing, and actually taught from the book, and not from what from some made up hype, we need those kind of teachers back so children can learn history, not fairy tales Lt Col Charlie Brown

Well said, so true and CRT should be buried once and for all and we should get back to core educational subjects that our children need to succeed.
