Hoover May Haunt Romney, but Not Ryan - Bloomberg

US considering electing the first business CEO since Hoover.

Wow, if Hoover is representative of business CEOs, then that's not a good omen.

I think the point was that stark austerity and pure laissez-faire policy he is accused of is actually false (she being a Hoover scholar). Hoover had contempt for laissez-faire and austerity as documented in his "American Individualism" book, and thus he abanonded those policies in the white house to the point he deemed private property a fetish.
