| Description | Cartoon shows former Ambassador to Great Britain Joseph Kennedy in front of a microphone, carrying a large rolled-up paper labeled "Kennedy Radio Speech," saying, "For once, I am going to say for myself what I have in my mind." A genial President Roosevelt responds, "Whatever you say, Joe, stick by it this time." When the ambassador returned from London in the fall of 1940, he gave a number of speeches and interviews, taking contradictory positions, sometimes supporting Roosevelt for re-election and endorsing his policies and sometimes taking an isolationist position. Finally in January 1941, Kennedy announced he would make a radio address to "clarify" his position. By then, Roosevelt had been safely re-elected and no longer cared what position Kennedy would take. |
