Eleanor Roosevelt on GOP Response to FDR Speech

http://www.gwu.edu/~erpapers/myday/displaydoc.cfm?_y=1941&_f=md055779

Eleanor was displeased to discover that the GOP members of Congress were more motivated by political interests than by the national interest. She believed that partisan interests should be put aside to deal with the national mobilization required in the war effort. She could not understand why the applause to FDR's speech came mostly from Democrats.
