Quote Explanation: The phrase "he may be a sonofabitch but he's our son of a bitch" was supposedly said by Franklin Delano Roosevelt about nicaraguenses the dictator Somoza (the elder) before the latter's visit to Washington in 1939. Safir''s Political Dictionary (Oxford University Press, 2008, p.676) argues that, for the first time this statement has been attributed to Roosevelt in Time magazine in 1948, supposedly from the words of wells (the former in 1939, the Deputy Secretary of state), in the form of "As a Nicaraguan might say, he's a sonofabitch but he's ours". Indeed, the issue of "Time" from November 15, 1948 this story is. However, no sources Time magazine does not, therefore, Safir attributed the phrase to the Apocrypha. Also, as pointed out by historian David Schmitz, the study of the archives of the presidential library of Franklin D. Roosevelt found no evidence to substantiate this statement.
