reddogblitz Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) True. He also didn't pretend that he could walk while secret service agents helped him wobble up a flight of stairs. Are you sure about that? https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1982/01/24/fdrs-cover-up-the-extent-of-his-handicap/9e3f26df-c0a4-4cb6-9852-754fd54d3cae/?utm_term=.37efdbc4a4fb Working first with his sons and later with the Secret Service, FDR developed a strategy for public appearances that allowed the public to see him without being unduly aware of his handicap. FDR was never seen by the public in a wheelchair. He was never lifted bodily in the presence of the public. He developed a means of "walking" without crutches, which involved leaning heavily upon the strong right arm of an attendant while stabilizing himself with a cane. He used numerous tricks. For example, in proceeding up to a speaker's platform, he would have himself carried up the steps in a standing position. To all but the closest observers this appeared as though the president himself was climbing the stairs. He insisted upon endless practice because, as he emphasized to his sons, he thought that whatever was done in public must appear to spectators to be easy and without effort. FDR succeeded in this to an astonishing degree. Many hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people saw him at fairly close range over the White House years and most did not notice that he was physically handicapped.

IDBillzFan Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Are you sure about that?https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1982/01/24/fdrs-cover-up-the-extent-of-his-handicap/9e3f26df-c0a4-4cb6-9852-754fd54d3cae/?utm_term=.37efdbc4a4fb Okay...fine... we agree...Hillary isn't healthy enough to climb stairs. What's her excuse?
grinreaper Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Okay...fine... we agree...Hillary isn't healthy enough to climb stairs. What's her excuse? I'm not sure she is healthy enough to fall down stairs.
/dev/null Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Okay...fine... we agree...Hillary isn't healthy enough to climb stairs. Even with the media carrying her
row_33 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I'm not sure she is healthy enough to fall down stairs. I know how the Dems and MSM worship her, but gravity HAS to have its effect on her and going down stairs.
grinreaper Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I know how the Dems and MSM worship her, but gravity HAS to have its effect on her and going down stairs. Hey, after all she's done without going to jail, she can most likely avoid gravity too.

I thought you would have appreciated the history lesson. I learned about this on the Roosevelt series on PBS. I also learned that FDR was very partisan. In speeches he would say things like he was trying to help Americans, but those wascally wepublicans wouldn't let him etc. I guess it shouldn't be surprising, but it was to me.

B-Man Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 GlamourVerified account @glamourmagFollow More Hillary Clinton says white women voted against her because they felt pressure from men: ..........http://glmr.co/JLDLrDb Does the fact that I think women are capable of making decisions independently make me a bigger feminist than Hillary Clinton?
reddogblitz Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Why is that a surprise? He was a commie. Is this your transportation?: I learned something else about FDR today. He was a racist Confederate sympathizer. http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/statue-of-gen-robert-e-lee-removed-from-dallas-park/ The 14-foot-tall, 6-ton statue depicting Lee on horseback flanked by an anonymous Confederate soldier was erected in what was originally called Oak Lawn Park. President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the statue in 1936 as part of the Texas Centennial celebration.

B-Man Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Here’s more evidence Team Hillary tried to destroy Original Article Something Else Happened the week of Hillary Clinton’s book launch: the release of more “lost” e-mails that further highlight her corrupt ways. The watchdogs at Judicial Watch shared 1,600 fresh e-mails released thanks to their Freedom of Information lawsuits — missives that Clinton & Co. failed to turn over from her private servers, but which the feds recovered from other sources. The e-mails contain new examples of the Clinton Foundation requesting and receiving State Department favors, plus more cases of classified information being sent through unsecure, non-state.gov accounts.

So... did you hear about the Russians hacking the election lately? That's far more important than this old news.
