Jack’s Winning Words 2/27/19
“There are many ways of moving forward, but only one way of standing still.”  (FDR)  It was a horrible time to be POTUS, at the beginning of the Great Depression.  Dramatic changes had to be made.  Standing still was not an option.  Roosevelt had a way with words and was able to convince most people that his way was the right way.  No matter what the problem, if you take no action, it will remain a problem.  A work issue, a marriage issue, a health issue…  ;-)  Jack

FROM ST PAUL IN MESA:  FDR was a gutsy leader who had a whole bunch of good ideas!   for a guy in a wheel chair,  he did amazing things!===JACK:  His brain wasn't in a wheelchair.

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  When the President talked, people listened.  It stopped I believe with the Clinton Era.  When he was caught lying it seemed people lost their respect for the office.  Yes I know about Nixon but he was not popular like Clinton.===JACK:  Whether it be Nixon, Clinton or Trump, it seems as though we, as a nation, are more accepting of immoral behavior.  It distresses me that some church leaders overlook that in favor of personal agendas.===JUDY:  It is distressing.  The morals have disappeared.  They aren’t teaching them at home or at school or, like you said, in church.  You would love going to the home school co-op Noah attends.  The children have manners, talk nicely and are polite.
