    Now that is a cake. I think I’ve mentioned I like cake. It’s interesting that the figure on top is with crutches. I thought he didn’t like to show himself with crutches or in a wheelchair.

      I was under that impression too, but maybe that was just during the election for his first term? This picture is from 1938 and that’s a very public representation of his polio. Interesting!
