President Herbert Hoover promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage, but Henry IV is credited with saying "I want there to be no peasant in my kingdom so poor that he is unable to have a chicken in his pot every Sunday", so maybe Hover just wanted to update this quote by adding the car in every garage.
every chicken in a pot every car in every garage was Herbert Hoover's 1928 campaign slogan. Reagan's 1980 slogan was "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"
Herbert Hoover is associated with this phrase but there is no evidence that he ever said it.This was campaign hyperbole used by the Republican Committee and it was printed in several newspapers. I talked to a gentleman at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library in Iowa who sent me a copy of the article that appeared in the New York World in October of 1928.
During the 1928 Presidential race, Herbert Hoover ran under his famous slogan: "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage." Clearly, the intended message was that he would bring about universal prosperity to Americans if he were to be elected. Ultimately, he was elected, but the economy suffered severely. The disillusioned public later mocked his promises by calling shanty towns erected by the homeless "Hoovervilles." Additionally, an empty pocket pulled completely out (illustrating the fact that they were so poor that they had nothing in their pockets) came to be known as a "Hoover flag."
Herbert Hoover and it would of been one chicken in every pot, not two.
The slogan "A Chicken in Every Pot and a Car in Every Garage" is often associated with Herbert Hoover during the 1928 presidential election, not 1828. However, the phrase was popularized in a campaign context to symbolize prosperity and the promise of a better life for American families. In the 1828 election, Andrew Jackson ran against John Quincy Adams, focusing on populist themes and the interests of the common man.
Hoover was a term used during the Great Depression to refer to jackrabbits caught for food due to their role in helping struggling families put food on the table. This term arose from President Herbert Hoover's quote about a "chicken in every pot," which highlighted the belief that every American should have enough to eat.
He promised Americans that there would be a chicken in every pot if elected President. Once elected, the stock marketcrashed, the country plummeted into the worst depression it had ever known and people not only lacked a chicken in their pot, many didn't even have a pot.
This was in a 1928 Republican National Committee advertisement supporting Herbert Hoover. They were not saying Hoover would provide the chicken, but that he would continue the policies of the previous Republican administration which had lead the nation back to prosperity and "put a chicken in every pot, and a car in every backyard, to boot."
