Roosevelt chides traveling family
WASHINGTON (UP) – The President poked fun at the traveling Roosevelts in his message to Congress today.
“I return from the trip – which took me as far as 7,000 miles from the White House – refreshed and inspired,” he said.
“The Roosevelts are not, as you may suspect, averse to travel. We thrive on it.”
Since his first inauguration 12 years ago, Mr. Roosevelt has traveled an estimated 300,000 miles.
In the same 12 years, Mrs. Roosevelt has traveled around 320,000 miles, beating her husband by about four-fifths of the distance around the earth.
