I miss F.D.R.

Oh for the days when world leaders were chosen for their character, not their charisma. Charisma or good looks had no part in Lincoln’s successful prosecution of the war of all wars. England had a fat, ugly man at the helm when Hitler started dropping bombs on London. America had a crippled and ugly man at the helm when Japan hit us hard. Would we have been better served with a handsome, charismatic idiot at the helm who had mastered nothing except the teleprompter?
