Hoover was a horrible president, and made the depression worse. He knee-jerked various laws into being to save America, which had the opposite effect (the same can be said for FDR).
I don't understand how he was pro-business, either.
IMO, the 4 worst presidents of the past 100 years are as follows:
FDR (expanded government by ~4000% while in office with too many programs to name)
Woodrow Wilson (same as FDR, but on a smaller scale. At least Harding/Cooledge reversed the crap he did. Plus he got us into a meaningless war in Europe)
Hoover (Smoot-Hawley, did far more to hurt deepen the depression than help it)
Johnson (Vietnam, Medicare)

You're like, the anti-me or something. First you've held up Calvin Coolidge as an example of a "good" president, then listed two of my favorites as the four worst of the past century.

Also interesting that Nixon is conspicuously absent from that list.
themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
