I was pretty much just messin' with ya. I like Hoover a lot. His library/visitor's center in West Branch, Iowa is pretty cool. I lived out there for a while. Bottom line on Hoover, IMHO, he got the bum rap due to issues not under his control. I think the Dems were just as active mudslingers then as they are now.

It's worth noting that a board of engineers from the major professional engineering societies in the U.S. awards the Hoover Medal each year to an engineer in recognition of that person's contributions to humanity outside their professional work.
Ironically, Dwight Eisenhower was the recipient of this award in 1960!
