Hoover, his economic policies got us in a bigger hole then we where in. [Great Depression.] Hoover also sent out police to beat the crap out of a bunch of WWI veteren's how just wanted a little bit of the war pensions they earned so they can survive.
Hoover also contradicted himself by saying perk up when he didn't perk up himself. He was also nothing but a butt-kisser to corporations.
Hoover's economic policies worsened the problems of the time, certainly. I don't blame him as much for his actions with the Bonus Army, as technically the government didn't owe them money at the time, and from what I heard, he was not personally responsible for beating the crap out of him, a military leader under him was, and Hoover just took responsibility for that.
As for Hoover being a butt-kisser to corporations, I don't see that. He is known for using his position to pressure corporations to behave in the manner he thought best, which isn't butt-kissing, and he increased taxes significantly on corporations(along with other groups) during his term. He did, however, kiss the butts of farmers by passing a dumb tariff that hurt the world economy though, and over the recommendations of like 1000 economists.
