Hoover should not be absolved, he played a role in the formation and continuation of the depression. The problem with most people's understanding of it is that they very falsely believe his role was that of non-interference and laissez-faire, when he actually was very interventionist, more than any other president before him and a number of those after him. His role was one of active bad decisions, not one of sitting around doing nothing.
