Boos Quotes
She was on a trip to Staten Island of New York City. It is a very small borough and whereas the rest of New York City has always been Democratic Supporters, Staten Island has usually supported the Republican Party, and to get there, they had to drive through Wall Street where the President and Mrs. Roosevelt were considered communists by many people. She appeared in public even more than the President who was limited by his paralysis. And she was used to the cheers and the boos and insults. This passage is typical of her attitude. Most first ladies find the boos and name calling very disconcerting, but not Mrs. Roosevelt.
