| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt handing a document labeled "President's Message" to an old man representing Congress. The president points to John Q. Public, saying, "If you have any doubt about what I am saying, you can listen in tonight while I'm talking to this fellow." On January 11, because of illness, Roosevelt sent his State of the Union speech to be read to Congress, but that evening he repeated the main points in a fireside chat to the American people. The speech was one of the most radical of his career, enumerating an economic and social bill of rights for the American people, but it aroused little enthusiasm in Congress. |
