Much of the blame for the Depression was placed unfairly on President Hoover. President Calvin Coolidge was to blame for part of the Depression.
Yes he was to blame and things like "Hooverville" are testament to how the public blamed him.
HOOVER ---- Actually Hoover for the begining of it for overreaction with too much spending. Then FDR for extending it and prolonging it with even more spending. Even FDR himself stated portions of his NEWDEAL was a failure (specificially as it related to unemployment, since most of his work programs were not jobs, but just 'make work' and some were not even with pay. Hoover helped the depresssion along by doing the tarrifs and etc which turned it into a full depression... Till that, it was still more of a major crash. Fact is, that Hoovers predesssors created the best economic times ever, and by overspending and then overreacting, the depression was not only created but deepened. Hoover actually deserves blame but so does FDR for too much followup. FDR himself stated in 1939 that they overdid portions of the response and it was those responses that extended the depression.
he didnt cause it, but he refused to listen to anyone about how to effect a recovery so it was prolonged and worsened. So to sum it up although president hoover had some skills that made him a president who may have been ok without the collapse. His belief that the country would recover without any creation of govt jobs by building infastructure projects and rebuilding our economy while protecting our system commerce of from manipulation by unscrupulous people doomed him.
No, the Democratic Party is not to blame for the Great Depression.

Roosevelt places a lot of blame on Hoover and his actions (or lack thereof) that lead to the Depression.
no because he tried his hardest to end depression
Yes he was to blame and things like "Hooverville" are testament to how the public blamed him.
Hoover believed in trickle down economics and he didn't provide direct relief to the poor. He also bailed out buisinessess.
