The president of the United States, Herbert Hoover, was running for a second term, and Goodwell wasn't big enough to rate a stop or speech. Hoover is the only president I have ever seen. Newsreels and television give us the illusion that we know and see politicians, but actual meetings for ordinary citizens really are quite rare. The rest, as they say, is history. Franklin Delano Roosevelt won, big time, and probably did more to reshape America than any other president, before or since.
Passage of time is necessary to really evaluate a president.
Most Americans would flunk a test that even involved naming all the presidents in order. Folks in the Panhandle might achieve a higher grade than the rest of the country, since it was fashionable when this area was settled to name streets after presidents. Go downtown and drive from Washington eastward to bone up on presidents through the Wilson term. A president's place in history is governed more by events than talent. Alas, Clinton will be a footnote in the history books as the second impeached president.
