	Didn't FDR always conceal his disability from the press? (Reply to this) (Thread)

It was more that there was a gentleman's agreement with the main White House correspondents not to report it. People knew that he had weak legs and would sometimes use the chair; the big secret was that he couldn't really walk at all.

His big public appearances were the ones that were elaborately staged to make it look like he could walk (one of the more famous ones being his keynote at the 1924 Dem convention, where he rehearsed walking onstage with the aid of his son James, made it to the podium, gave a rousing speech, and then, in the midst of all the applause, somebody in his entourage realized they hadn't given any thought to how he was going to leave the stage).

	Yes, publicly it was very hidden. Stimpson cut a deal with the press to no write about it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

He'd been leaning on the podium throughout the speech, so he just leaned for a while taking applause (of which there was quite a bit; the boss of the Kansas City Democratic machine later remarked that he'd have been nominated on the spot if his health had been better), while his staff scrambled to figure something out. They ended up sending Eleanor and a bunch of her friends to mob around him in congratulation, at which point a few of them discreetly grabbed him by the arms and carried him off the stage.

	But then, as Michael Bay and Jon Voight taught us, the horror of Pearl Harbor gave him the miraculous power to stand, because no American should sit still for such things, even if crippled. Unless they're a crummy Ratzi-lover! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As much as I like Bucky right now, and how hard he's worked to earn the color, it's GOOD to see the true Captain America in action. Just get the goosebumps.... sniff Manly tear being held back... hold on... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The first issue was a bit setup heavy, but I expect things to pick up. It's got a reliable creative team. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I really can't get into Cap. It's not that he's not likeable in his own way, but it's like they're trying to hard y'know? Which means every time I see him I want someone to punch his face, for some reason. (Reply to this)
