[laughter] >> there was a woman sitting next to him at a dinner party at the white house one time and she said, mr. coolidge, i have a bet with my girlfriend i can get you to say more than two words. he looked at her and said you lose. but, knowing it would be a while before w

speak, also, about the executive order 9066, which was issued 75 years ago, 75 years ago by franklin delano roosevelt. it authorized the evacuation and relocation of persons deemed to be a threat to national security. what it did, however, was lead to one of the most shameful times in american history, and that was the internment of japanese americans. these were american citizens. from 1942 until 1945, the u.s. government detained over 120,000 american citizens of japanese ancestry and resident immigrants forcing them to live in internment camps, taking them away from their homes, their farms and their businesses, many in california in the san joaquin valley. as american citizens, the internment denied them their constitutional rights of due process. these were u.s. citizens who were robbed of their rights and their freedoms, yet, some of these japanese americans, while their families were forced to live in inturnment camps, never forgot -- internment camps, never forgot their patriotism. the 442nd infantry regiment combat team was made up of japanese american soldiers. it was one of these units, th

i think it's one of the amusing stories that sarah thought franklin was successful because he was a delano not a roosevelt. the delano family were involved with the china trade. her father had made and lost fortunes in the china trade. sarah went to china when she was a teenager. sailed across the pacific and a clipper ship that a family owned and lived in china as her father is trying to rebuild his business. she was a very cosmopolitan woman and understood the world beyond america's shores. she provided guidance for him. she gave him strength and self-confidence, and throughout the relationship right up until 1941 when she died, she remained a source of strength for him. he turned to her in times when he needed someone to believe in him. i think that is essence of it. there were conflicts between eleanor and sir because she played such a dominant role in his life because it was their home and she build a house for the two of them were in new york where it was a duplex. one side was franklin and eleanor is all. the other side was seras home. she put doors on every floor. she was also a very strong suppor
