FDR had polio. Did he lie about it? Did he deceive people about it?

"This is about FDR being disabled."\n\nThanks for the clarification.  We would have never figured it out.\n\nHe didn't lie about it.  He just chose not to advertise it.

History:\nEither of the Roosevelts as president - because they accomplished what they wanted to do. FDR gained the public confidence during depression and war. Teddy, although I don't agree with his imperialistic gains, for his efforts at expansion and the Panama Canal.\n\nToday: \nHe or she remains to be found

By Jakob Heine in 1840.\n\nPoliomyelitis, often called polio or infantile paralysis, is a virally induced infectious disease which spreads via the fecal-oral route. Poliomyelitis, often called polio or infantile paralysis, is a virally induced infectious disease which spreads via the fecal-oral route. It may proceed to the blood stream and into the central nervous system causing muscle weakness and often paralysis. An ancient disease, it was first recognized as a medical entity by Jakob Heine in 1840. Vaccination and eradication efforts led by the World Health Organization and The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International are credited with the reduction of the number of annual diagnosed cases from the hundreds of thousands to around a thousand-.

Do your own homework.  Plus the 30s is a long time and he got elected president twice during that time.  Every president's popularity rises and drops over time.  \n\nBut of course there was Roosevelt's unfortunate position on eugenic sterilization.

FDR did have camps in the US. Just ask a Japanese American that lived back then.

The Plot to Size the White House\n\nIt was not Marine General Smedley Darligton Butler (as you are thinking); he exposed the plot that tried to recruit him as America's Fascist Mussolini Dictator to depose President Franklin D.

Would a kennedy ever lie? \n\nOK lets forget about Joe Sr. the bootlegging, traitor during world war II.\n\nAnd lets forget about john and his numerous philandering affairs and the bay of pigs incident\n\nand lets forget about bobby who had a hard-on for the unions which made him care less about the constitution than a $2 hooker cares about a condom.\n\nand lets forget about ted the poster boy for drunken, philandering, murderers.\n\nI think you're entitled to believe every word that comes out of their mouths for the right price.

FDR was a lawyer.  Before he was President he was the Governor of New York.

He is the worst president in the history of the U.S. so it is only natural to ask questions about him. His past leaves much to be desired also, he was a coke snorting, alcoholic before he became a "born again Christian". If you can believe that with all the other lies that he has told.

People are too lazy to think, and it's so much easier to just believe the lies and soundbites than to take the time to find out the truth.\n\nThe other reason is that many people want to believe the lies. When President Carter spoke honestly about the condition of the country, people got angry with him. They didn't want to hear that we were in a bad situation. They preferred to listen to someone who just told them that everything was going great.

It was for the oil!!!! And to avenge the VD that FDR got from a French hooker!\n\nWhy did we perpetrate that evil on the innocent French? We bombed them, killing thousands of innocent people, just so FDR could put his head on a dime!\n\nThey were living in peace, licking German boots and rounding up Jews. What right did we have to attack them? Unjustified! FDR lied to us!

FDR wanted to get into the war to assist Britain but the public wanted no part of it.  The U.S. provoked Japan into an attack and sacrificed Pearl Harbor (U.S. intelligence knew they were coming) so the public sentiment would change and support our efforts to wage war against Germany.\n\nJohnny

Oh my goodness yes!! FDR was the man, he's seriously one of my all-time favorite presidents...maybe my favorite. He made such significant changes when he was in office...things that are still relevant to this day. Because of him we have trust in the banks and he's the reason that the parties "switched" their priorities. FDR was definitely amazing. :)

Cause the Liberal Media doesn't wanna admit Bush did not lie.\n\nThe smartest thing Hitler ever said was: The bigger the Lie the more people will believe it.\n\nThe Liberals have been lying day in and day out acting as if they never said Saddam was dangerous before Bush was President.

This rumor is not from any first person source (anyone who would have been in a position to know was dead before the war ended), but is in fact derived from a psychological survey of Hitler's personality conducted by the War Department shortly after the US was brought into WWII. The analysis was done using the sketchy history of Hitler's life that was available at the time, interviews with leaders captured in North Africa, his speeches, etc. It was believed that Hitler had a massive inferiority complex, had a very difficult time controlling his temper (several leaders referred to him as a 'carpet eater' because he would fall to the floor in his office almost convulsing when given particularly disastrous news), and had particularly poor social skills on a one-to-one relationship.\n\nAFter the war, when the survey was de-classified, it was published as "The Mind of Adolf Hitler."
