8. Hoover?

I think it was him...it would be ironic, cause while he was president there wasn't a chicken in every pot and you could forget about a car in every garage

24. Henri IV, king of France (1553-1600)

Je veux qu'il n'y ait si pauvre paysan en moi royaume qu'il n'ait tous les' dimanches sa poule au pot.

(I wish that there would not be a peasant so poor in all my realm who would not have a chicken in his pot every Sunday.)

Hoover was on record denying that he ever said anything about two cars in every garage and two chickens in every pot.
