Which twentieth-century president am I?

I became president in 1929, a time when the U.S. had extremely good economic conditions, but problems began soon
after with the Great Depression. I had high hopes that the private sectors wopld be able to pull us out of the Depression;
instead, conditions grew worse, and I had to provide Federal aid to the nation. The toughest part of my presidency was
knowing that some citizens blamed me for the poor economic state of the country.

-Calvin Coolidge
-Dwight Eisenhower
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
-Herbert Hoover
-John F. Kennedy
-Lyndon B. Johnson
