    Is this not the same President who was once quoted as saying, “if you’d walk a mile in my shoes, you will have walked further in them than myself”?

    Do you suppose he picked both the upholstery pattern on the chair and the pinstripe pattern of his suit?

      Since the photograph is in black and white, you cannot see that the chair was olive and ochre, whereas the suit was a lovely puce color (#722F37).

        I don’t mean to start an international debate or anything, but his attire actually looks blue and black to me.

    The quote has been truncated for the simple reason that not everyone has arachnophobia. FDR’s stems from events surrounding the gift of the banannas sent from Brazil by Teddy.
