Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"Our people have decided, and they are constantly becoming more determined, that Hitler's threat to everything for which we stand must be struck down."

"I hereby exempt the said Dr. Lawrence W. White from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending February 28, 1943."

"A free people with a free press makes up its own mind."

"I know that our country will not shrink from that responsibility nor quail before whatever sacrifices it may demand."
