Is it fair to blame President hoover for the great depression. Explain? NEED TO KNOW ASAP

People always try to find people to blame, but blaming President Hoover for not doing as much as he could would be fair. However, people seem to not understand that he did do something.

Explanation:

Hoover attempted to help.  He ordered a speed up of federal construction projects, and passed a tax cut.  Hoover had meetings with industrialists and business owners asking their help.  When a delegation of bishops and bankers met with Hoover in June of 1930 to warn him about the spreading suffering, Hoover told them that his initiatives would eventually work and solve the problems.  He was wrong, as joblessness, bank collapses, and bankruptcies continued to rise.

The American people were looking for someone to step in and solve the problems. When Hoover didn’t do this, he was blamed for both the Depression and for not stopping it.  In the election of 1932, Hoover campaigned on his record saying at one point, “It could be so much worse.”

in all honesty, it really hasn't. except that hitler killed himself.
