Just to tell you more about Hoover.
He was born in 1874 in West Branch, Iowa His father died in 1880 His mother died in 1883 Herbert Hoover moved to Oregon to live with his uncle Herbert went to Stanford in 1891 So he lived in Oregon from 9 - 17 and considered Oregon the place he grew up. We have a Highway named after Hoover in Newberg where he grew up. Pretty podunk about 30-45 minutes or so from where I live. So maybe an hour outside of Portland. I really wish we had a better president to lay claim to.
I mean you have to admit that a president that is the captain of the ship when the economy loses more jobs that it gains is pretty crappy.
