This is how she began one of her daily columns. She did not grow up in a political world and whenever she made an error or mistake, she simply said so and corrected it. Many politicians—American and Foreign—didn’t know what to make of this. Even today, where politicians exaggerate and are called on their errors rarely admit it. Most feel if they ever admit to being wrong, no one will trust what they day in the future. And that their political enemies will repeat their admission over and over to destroy their image with the public. Actiually that happened to Mrs. Roosevelt and even today opponents and enemies quote her errors which she corrected. However, she was not only one of America’s most popular politicians, but was one of the few that people would trust.
