Hoover was ok, if you really look into his Presidency. The Depression gave him a bum rap...while FDR beat him handily in '32, it was Harry Truman who afforded Hoover the credit he deserved once becoming President in 1945.

The best story about Calvin Coolidge is that he was a man of very few words. At some White House dinner, a woman sitting next to him said she had bet her friend she could get him to say at least 3 words that night. Coolidge's reply..."You lose."

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
