Best Answer

Franklin had polio which made him a cripple. No one would want a cripple for president so his mother tried to convince him to give up politics. Eleanor knew better she stood up for Roosevelt because he loved politics. They had to develop a way to make the American public think the president wasn't a cripple. It's amazing that for sixteen years F.D.R was able to hide his illness. Really the press loved him no matter how much he complained about them jokingly. He was also desperate for a cure. He put off politics until he could get well and ran away to a boat. He was then helped by Missy LeHand to heal. He never healed but never stopped trying until the day he died.
