Fdr: Rich Boy Coward

[Bush92]

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Roosevelt in France, 1918. He wrote Uncle Teddy about how well "his Marines" did at the Battle of Belleau Wood. Teddy fought at San Juan Hill. 3 of his sons died or were wounded on the Western Front. FDR was a spoiled rotten prick.

I'm sure American Command with the AEF said, drive this guy around and get rid of him.

Teddy was not Franklin's uncle. He was Eleanor's...

Teddy was a warmonger. He was a progressive, however, and cared about the less fortunate, as did FDR and Eleanor.

Teddy also turned his back on blacks that had thought he would champion their cause of equality...The Brownsville incident sealed the fate of the blacks and the GOP..

Bush in avatar, but critical of "the wealthy elite".

This is the same populism that started with Nixon who attacked the wealthy northeastern liberals like Kennedy. The strategy became institutionalized in the 70s as a way to drive poor voters away from the Democrats.
