Eleanor Roosevelt addresses the United Nations on the ratification of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

[RRaquello]

Mrs. Teasdale.

Eleanor Roosevelt should never have been allowed to make a TV appearance without Groucho Marx.

Hours long, Severe Civil/ human rights crimes r committed in Canada by authorities against citizens who use their constitutional civil right of not talking to them. This anti-republican authority attacks happen with lazer/tazer type guns which work through concrete walls of your home from outside or even the floor above. They rape women with these high power guns, also abuse their access to high ranking officials giving them one side of false story against who questions their abuse of power.

No other First Lady could ever hold a candle to her. She was courageous, compassionate, and intelligent. It's a shame she isn't as well known as Princess Diana or Dr. King, because she is worthy of such commemoration.

@PeaceJustice4ever yeah tell that to thousands of Japanese Americans her husband threw in relocation camps, she was there and din't speak a word about it. A total abandonment of the constitution.

[PeaceJustice4ever]

@garybsg~ Well, I didn't say she was a saint. She did remarkable work and you can't discredit that because she wasn't perfect. She did far more than was expected of her as First Lady, and as a woman during that time, it couldn't have been easy.

[garybsg]

@PeaceJustice4ever Look I can't blame her for all that her husband did and I admire his wartime leadership but also recognize his domestic policies of socialism has changed the US in not a good way. FDR gets and A+ for war leadership and F- for starting the welfare state.

@PeaceJustice4ever

Bravo!!I agree you :-)

[xander7ful]

Thank you for this video. She worked so hard on this Declaration. It was the crowning achievement of her career and it's wonderful to see. She was quite a lady and indeed the BEST First Lady we've had.

[HystericalShiksa]

What a great and adorable woman she was!

[GreatGrumbledook]

... But that your face is, vizard-like, unchanging, made impudent with use of evil deeds, I would assay, proud queen, to make thee blush. To tell you whence you came, of whom derived, were shame enough to shame you, were you not shameless. It needs not, nor it boots you not, proud queen, unless the adage must be verified, that beggars mounted run their horse to death. It is beauty that doth oft make women proud; but, God he knows, your share thereof is small: ...

[GreatGrumbledook]

... It is virtue that doth make them most admired; the contrary doth make thee wondered at: It is government that makes them seem divine; the want thereof makes you abominable: You are as opposite to every good as the antipodes are unto us, or as the south to the septentrion. O tiger's heart wrapt in a woman's hide!

[NosHabebitHumus]

@GreatGrumbledook Sirrah, there's no room for faith, truth, nor honesty in this bosom of thine; it is all filled up with guts and midriff. Charge an honest woman with picking thy pocket! why, thou whoreson, impudent, embossed rascal!

[GreatGrumbledook]

@NosHabebitHumus: Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal: 'tis not the trial of a woman's war, the bitter clamour of two eager tongues, can arbitrate this cause betwixt us twain; the blood is hot that must be cool'd for this: Setting aside my high blood's royalty, I do defy her, and I spit at her call her a slanderous coward and a villain: Which to maintain I would allow her odds, and meet her, were I tied to run afoot even to the frozen ridges of the Alps, or any other ground inhabitable!

The best first Lady in American history is :

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

God bless her!

Rest in peace Madame.
