Smooth - I was refering to the time he was elected. Most of the U.S. population did not know FDR was crippled from polio. I was not trying to disparage(sp?) him, I was trying to point out how much the coverage of elected officials has changed. Frankly, FDR is one of my heroes. And you are right, we do tend to romanticize our past leaders.
