Reply #27: Hearst newspapers were the power at the time, and JFK would not have

[kelligesq]

supported the civil rights movement either - products of their
times and afraid to alienate southern white men, it was Bobby
who forced JFK into supporting civil
rights in the 60's. FDR wouldn't allow a ship full of Jewish
refugees to come into the United States either.
Because Bush's grandpappy controlled the oil that FDR needed
for the war and threatened to cut off oil to the US when FDR
demanded he and his buddies stop supplying the Nazis - they
put the screws to FDR. 

I doubt that we will ever know all of the machinations and
history that went on in the oval office.  Do we know exactly
what and who Cheney did with the energy plan in order to rape
Americans now?

FDR induced the depression?

He's given credit for bringing the country out of it and
creating jobs - what was it - the dam project - for a start.
Something in Tennessee also....

Although he did make some mistakes.  By being talked into
having a Federal Reserve and turning all the countries gold
over to it.

You and I seem to have a distictly different memory of
history.
