Contented cows, not

During the great depression President's Hoover and Coolidge were together in Marion, OH dedicating a memorial to Warren G. Harding. Hoover outlined the steps he was taking to end the great depression and our economic disaster. He was indignant regarding what he saw as unfair criticism from the public.

Coolidge told him, "You can't expect to see calves running in the field the day after you put the bull to the cows." Hoover replied, "No, but I would expect to see contented cows."

I'm not seeing a lot of contentment. Are you?
