FDR's Grandson Not Happy With 'War President"


<http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6364551/site/newsweek>

This is a great read.


Americans old enough to remember the 1940s—and those of us who learn from history—have a model of a War President. He is one who builds true cooperation with our foreign friends. He is one who is never the aggressor, but once attacked, involves even those closest to him in an all-out effort to win. And he is one who has a plan for the peace such as the Marshall Plan in Europe or reindustrialization in Japan.

For Bush to grant himself this title is an insult to my grandfather and the inspired leaders who led this country in wars that were just. To put it simply, George W. Bush has not earned the right to be called a War President.

1. Absolutely astounding....... Thank you Mr. J. Roosevelt Jr.!!
We've got this man, Caroline Kennedy, and Eisenhower's son coming back from History to tell us "how it's done"

I am simply overwhelmed with pride and gratitude for these fine Americans.......

What better lesson/instruction could the American people possibly need. What great fortune for us to have these historical figures still here with us!

My jaw hangeth open~~~
