The incident reminds me more of the bonus army march (thanks for reminding me of the name, I'd never have found it in a wiki without that.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army
Although, of course, the Wallstreet protesters are not being brutalized by tear gas and bayonetes. Your point is still the same about this incident. The backlash was that Hoover had no chance at reelection, and FDR smelled like a rose.
