President Franklin D. Roosevelt (32th; 1933–1945)


Franklin Delano Roosevelt, commonly known by his initials FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd President of the United States. A Democrat, he won a record four elections and served from March 1933 to his death in April 1945. He was a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression and total war. His program for relief, recovery and reform, known as the New Deal, involved the great expansion of the role of the federal government in the economy. A dominant leader of the Democratic Party, he built the New Deal Coalition that united labor unions, big city machines, white ethnics, African Americans, and rural white Southerners. The Coalition realigned American politics after 1932, creating the Fifth Party System and defining American liberalism for the middle third of the 20th century.

With all that being said, I thought he was a handsome man and even with permanent paralysis from Polio, he was still laying bitches. This women included his homely wife, Eleanor, the trusted adviser and committed social activist; the devoted personal aide, Missy LeHand; and his great love, Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd, a beautiful and refined woman who served as a secretary to Eleanor. His wife Eleanor had an aversion to sexual intercourse, and considered it "an ordeal to be endured," they had six children, the first four in rapid succession. So Roosevelt had affairs outside his marriage, including one with Eleanor's social secretary Lucy Mercer, which began soon after she was hired in early 1914. Franklin had contemplated divorcing Eleanor, but Lucy would not agree to marry a divorced man with five children. Franklin and Eleanor remained married, and FDR promised never to see Lucy again. Eleanor never truly forgave him, and their marriage from that point on was more of a political partnership than an intimate relationship.

Franklin broke his promise to Eleanor. He and Lucy maintained a formal correspondence, and began seeing each other again in 1941, perhaps earlier. Lucy was with FDR on the day he died. Roosevelt's son Elliott said that Franklin also had a 20-year affair with his private secretary Marguerite "Missy" LeHand. Another son, James, stated that "there is a real possibility that a romantic relationship existed" between his father and Princess Märtha of Sweden, who resided in the White House during part of World War II. Aides began to refer to her at the time as "the president's girlfriend," and gossip linking the two romantically appeared in the newspapers.

Two women on the side and maybe even a princess. All while mostly being in a wheelchair. Damn he's the man. How could I not admirer FDR. But as much as I admirer the man, I could never do him. Excluding the obvious, him being dead and straight, the paralysis is a killer. I couldn't handle anything below the waist because the atrophy of legs would be a boner killer. So the only way something was going to happen between us is he's all dressed up in a suit and or his legs are covered by a blanket. I know I'm being selfish, but his thin legs creep me out a little. OK, a lot.

 Damn, FDR was a good looking man.
 His wife Eleanor considered sex an ordeal to be endured. Of course he was going to cheat on her thinking and looking like that. Mrs. Roosevelt was probably the nicest woman in the world but if she wasn't giving up the cookies. Oh well.

 I could go for a little three-way action with Churchill.



 Oh, his legs creep me the fuck out. Their just so thin.

 Mmmm... in color.
