5 déc. 1938 - "You undergraduates ...have read your newspapers and heard on the air that I am, at the very least, an ogre-a consorter with Communists, a destroyer of the rich, a breaker of our ancient traditions... You have heard for six years that I was about to plunge the Nation into war; that you and your little brothers would be sent to the bloody fields of battle in Europe." -Franklin D. Roosevelt Address at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. December 05, 1938

Description:

"You undergraduates who see me for the first time have read your newspapers and heard on the air that I am, at the very least, an ogre—a consorter with Communists, a destroyer of the rich, a breaker of our ancient traditions. Some of you think of me perhaps as the inventor of the economic royalist, of the wicked utilities, of the money changers of the Temple. You have heard for six years that I was about to plunge the Nation into war; that you and your little brothers would be sent to the bloody fields of battle in Europe; that I was driving the Nation into bankruptcy; and that I breakfasted every morning on a dish of "grilled millionaire." (Laughter)"
