FACT 2: Dirty Politicians

For Christmas I gave my Dad a book about Franklin Roosevelt. My Dad says he is the best president of the 20th century. I decided to do further research of my own on Roosevelt because I really do not know much about him. The most interesting fact I found was that

"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. In September 1918, Eleanor found letters revealing the affair in Roosevelt's luggage, when he returned from World War I. According to the Roosevelt family, Eleanor offered Franklin a divorce so that he could be with the woman he loved, but Lucy, being Catholic, could not bring herself to marry a divorced man with five children, (wikipedia)."

Best president of the 20th century huh? I guess we all make mistakes.....
