"Беседы у камелька"

Задушевные радиобеседы президента Ф. Д. Рузвельта [ Roosevelt, Franklin Delano (FDR)], в которых он излагал свою позицию по основным внутренним и внешним проблемам и предлагал пути их разрешения. За 12 лет президентства Рузвельт провел не более 30 бесед (первая состоялась в марте 1933), но они пользовались такой популярностью, что американцы и по сей день уверены, будто их было гораздо больше. Эти беседы украшали яркие афоризмы, которые сегодня часто цитируются: "Консерватор - это тот, кто, несмотря на две совершенно здоровые ноги, так и не научился двигаться вперед... Реакционер - это лунатик, который пятится назад... Радикал - тот, кто обеими ногами крепко стоит... на облаках" ["A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forwards... A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards... A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted - in the air"]. Со временем это выражение стало обозначать любое обращение президента к народу по радио и телевидению, сделанное в неформальной обстановке
