    Hoover was a brilliant manager and an extraordinarily effective humanitarian. Why do we remember him as a failure? http://nyer.cm/Mkk2X5j pic.twitter.com/upp4tf1VG2

        Why? He was NOT a humanitarian to millions of Americans who were starving during the Depression. He did nothing to help them. Nothing.

        There's a reason why shanty towns during the Depression were called "Hoovervilles".

        He and his wife thought it was good for morale when they ate 12-course meals in the White House in full dress while millions starved.

        Hoover was crucial in saving Europe from starvation after WW1, but stood by while his own nation starved. Typical Republican.

        I think the wonderful thing about Trump's presidency is that it's allowing people to rethink their definition of bad and failure
