video of Mike Wallace interviewing Eleanor Roosevelt

http://solstice.ischool.utexas.edu/tmwi/index.php/Eleanor_Roosevelt

She says she is more interested in freedom of thought than she is about capitalism. (This interview is from 1957).
She discusses her opinions of politicians of the day including JFK, Nixon and Eisenhower. She also discusses her critics. It's interesting stuff.

Thanks for sharing it. I had not seen it before, but have heard of her many critics. I also recall how Hillary Clinton was drawn to the presence of Eleanor Roosevelt in days of being first lady and enduring everything thrown at her.

Why have strong women with such intellect, grace and integrity like Mrs. Roosevelt been scorned? I think it's because you can't do better than them as human beings.

Some people enjoy being unhappy and hating those who stand above it all.
