I've been to Warm Springs, and who but the worst cynic wouldn't admire or even love President Roosevelt? He was a great icon in American history. Whatever happened to men like him, Truman, and Kennedy? That was the Democratic Party of old. Today we get America-hating shitbags like Clinton and Obama. We get Marxists who want to destroy America. Roosevelt must be spinning in his grave.
1. He extended the Depression rather than ended it.
2. He invalidated the Constitution, and made the Supreme Court into a rubber stamp
3.Through his efforts Joseph Stalin didn't just survive...he thrived, and FDR encouraged and promoted communists in government.
4. He changed the relationship between the people and the government...and not in a good way
5. He extended WWII by at least two years, therefore responsible for the loss of blood and treasure over those years.
Any of that in the documentary?
Why yes, Hitler was just begging to have peace, same with Hirohito,
1. The chief of Nazi Germany's intelligence division, the Abwehr, Admiral Wm. Canaris, from 1939, was doing exactly that....reaching out to Roosevelt, and willing to organize a coup...and surrender.
Stalin refused to allow FDR to communicate with him.
And, there is this:
More about the anti-Nazis that Roosevelt would not allow his commander to contact....
a. "A SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force) directive prohibited activities aimed at promoting German revolt against the Nazi regime.
The Allied doctrine of unconditional surrender meant that "... those Germans — and particularly those German generals — who might have been ready to throw Hitler over, and were able to do so, were discouraged from making the attempt by their inability to extract from the Allies any sort of assurance that such action would improve the treatment meted out to their country."

2. " The Chabad Lubavitch Hassidic movement has requested that Yad Vashem recognize Nazi Admiral Wilhelm Canaris as a Righteous Gentile. Chief of the Abwehr, the Nazi intelligence service, Canaris played a key role in saving the lives of the Chabad Rebbe Yitzhak Yosef Schneerson and his family along with an estimated 500 Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943 according to numerous testimonies..... the refusal of Yad Vashem and the Holocaust Studies establishment to recognize Wilhelm Canaris as a Righteous Gentile is
due to their concern that such recognition might open a can of worms on the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration and its conduct during World War II..
