And while we've probably never elected a president whose goal was to tread water and simply not screw up the country, one can sense that we're at a crossroads in the American story.Dear Chuck,

It's like the old joke about the thermos bottle ... How do it know?
I think the streets at this crossroad must have the same name,
the same street intersecting with itself,
helps explain why we never actually get through the crossroad,
or at least keep coming back to it.
Discern any overriding beliefs in the candidacy of George HW Bush and collect valuable prizes.
Shortly after Coolidge was elected president in his own right, his son died of a freak illness/ accident. Many historians think Coolidge developed severe depression after that, which is why he didn't do anything. If you read his memoirs, it is clear that he was quite intelligent and perceptive, and probably would have been a fairly effective president if he had been mentally healthy.
Anyway, when Hoover tried to me more activist in response to the Great Depression, he basically floundered around alot, same with FDR to a lesser extent. The federal government up to that point had simply not played an active peacetime policymaking role. The public didn't have much of a problem with Coolidge spending much of his administration playing practical jokes on his Cabinet because it fitted their expectations of what a president was supposed to do in peacetime more than we'd like to admit. The activist Wilson administration had left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
