Today, I saw an article on Presidential doodlings. For Herbert Hoover, I was unable to see the rest of a doodle he had drawn. President Hoover was considered a rather lazy beaurocrat (no offense, just paraphrasing) and one of his doodles began with the Star of David at the top. The next line said "How many foreclosures". President Hoover's term heralded in The Great Depression. I was wondering if someone out there could tell me what the rest of the doodle said/reflected in the drawing. Thanks.

I am not sure what it meant, it had several of the star of David on there. The questions were : How many foreclosures? How many farms without diversification ( i think that was the word) and How many bank failures? There were also the state names Montana and North and South Dakota. The Dakota's along with Montana only became states in 1989. And the rural areas and farming areas were one of the areas that suffered the most. before the great depression these states usually voted Republican, during the depression a realignment occurred where these states and many others changed their affiliations and voted for Roosevelt a Democrat, Maybe this is what this refers to, since it doesn't give us a date. He could have been getting information on the different political groups, and how foreclosures, bank failures etc would affect his chances of re-election within those different groups, such as farmers and ranchers, Jewish etc. But this is just a guess of course.
