Washing the Soul of Herbert Hoover.

                                            "Hail Herbert Hoover
                                             Son of toil
                                            A gallant leader."

A double-breasted...The lapel, the lapel...

That's the guy's press secretary there. Look at them! 

The guy's sense of judgment was like my sense of direction, always 180 degrees off:

"In 1936, Hoover entertained hopes of receiving the Republican presidential nomination again, and thus facing Roosevelt in a rematch."-Wiks.

Can you believe that? "They still love me, I bet I can win the nomination." :o  Looked forward to a rematch with FDR!  "I'll get 'im this time!" 

"Hoover visited 10 European countries in March 1938, the month of Nazi Germany's Anschluss of Austria, and stated "I do not believe a widespread war is at all probable in the near future. There is a general realization everywhere ... that civilization as we know it cannot survive another great war."[133] Like many, he initially believed that the European Allies would be able to contain Germany, and that Imperial Japan would not attack American interests in the Pacific."-dits.

"When the United States entered the war following the December 7, 1941, Japanese attack on Pearl 

Harbor, Hoover swept aside all feelings of neutrality and called for total victory. He offered himself to the government in any capacity necessary, but the Roosevelt Administration did not call upon him to serve."-dits.

BAD old FDR. BAD!

JEE-zus Christ.
