FDR was also a much better speaker.
If folks look at Hoover and the depression as one in the same it is on them, through ignorance.

NO NO NO
read some history of the era
Hoover would not go as far as FDR....he was not ready to use Keyesian economics full tilt like FDR did. FDR was able to instill confidence and pull us out. If Hoover was any good he would have been re-elected. I do not believe in alternative history unless I am reading science fiction.
