The 1932 Election

Hoover could have fixed things.

We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.

Enough with your Hoover garbage.  You do this every damn day.

[Michael Z]

Boss Tweed is right. It's always Hoover this Hoover that with you, but you're yet to give us one good reason why Hoover was so great.

[PBrunsel]

A good reason Hoover was great guy:

Herbert Hoover was a big hearted man who was always open to help the poor and weak. He is known as "The Great Humanitarian" and "The Defender of Innocent Children." He fed millions of Bulgarian Children in the CRB Relief Program. He said "Damn the fortune," and went off to help children. Does this sound like a bad man?

Durring the depression Hoover started the Farm Board to help farmers. He started the Federal Reconstruction and Finance Comitee to make sure that men like Henry Ford did not lower workers wages. He encouraged the Red Cross to feed the starving and even donated his own money to their cause.

In 1932 two children from Detroit had hitchiked to Washington to get their father out of prison. Their father had been arrested because he couldn't pay his mortgage. Hoover was so touched by the boy's treck that he freed their father, payed their mortgage, and gave them some money to help them get food and clothing. This man was a caring, big hearted, warm, and great person.

We in America today overlook the great man Herbert Hoover was because we are too blind to see that this man, born in a three room house in West Branch, Iowa, is one of the greatest men whoever lived in the United States.

Herbert Hoover was a great ex-President. He helped feed millions of Finnish people, out of his own pocket, when the Soviet-Finnish War broke out. After World War II Hoover's humanitarian work was not over. Prtesident Truman sent him on a mission to feed Europe. He was able to save millions, if not hundreds of milllions, of Eurpeans from starving to death. After JFK was shot, Hoover sent a telegraph to LBJ saying, "I am open from any job from Presidential advisor to Senate page boy." Hoover wanted to help Johnson in this moment of crisis.

In 1953 Hoover was appointed by President Eisenhower to reorganize the executive branch. The "Hoover Commison" saved taxpayers millions by trimming the Federal Government.

Herbert Hoover sadly died in 1964. The entire nation greived the death of a man who had been such a philanthropist that he was hated. The nation cried and wept for a man who had lived the American Dream. It is Hoover who should be honored, and not insulted.

I don't think people thought he was a bad man, just a bad president. Just like people don't think Carter was a bad man, just a bad president.

[PBrunsel]

I agree. Hoover was a president who didn't do much, but he was a good man.

[Michael Z]

Thanks PBrunsel, some interesting facts I didn't know about Hoover listed there. He was obviously a good guy.

Though I still would've voted for FDR.

No problem. It's always nice to learn new things. It doesn't bore me at all.

Poor Hoover, the scapegoat of the recklessness of the teens and 20s.

[The Duke]

FDR.  The Republicans then were isolationists and had no connection with real people.
