Which American president brought hope to many people during the Great Depression?

Many people blamed the crash of Wall Street (Black Thursday) on the Republicans who had politically dominated the "roaring twenties". Herbert Hoover was not re-elected in 1932 as it was thought he did not do enough to provide relief from the economic depression that followed the collapseof the New York Stock Exchange.A Democrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the election and began government programs to attempt to end the depression. This soon became a world depression. Roosevelt was the first US President that did not follow the precedent set by George Washington by only running for president 2 times. Roosevelt won 4 straight presidential elections. ( later the Congress limited the election of any president to 2 terms by law.President Roosevelt's economic programs gave hope to the 25 % of US workers who had no jobs. He became the "peoples friend" with hisweekly radio broadcasts which were a comfort to the USA. Economists today don't give Roosevelt much credit for ending the great depression. The consensus is that the USA's entry into WW2 brought the depression to an end.
