Obama the next Hoover?

John McCain compared Barack Obama during Tuesday’s debate to Herbert Hoover (in photo), saying Obama wants to raise taxes in a time of deep economic uncertainty and shrinking growth. Hugh Hewitt of Townhall.com says that “the argument about the disastrous economic policies being pushed by Obama must be made by McCain every day going forward.” Hewitt contends: “I don’t want to put the country through Great Depression 2.0, and I don’t want a vast army of academics and social engineers descending on D.C. with plans on how to remake America in their own extremist image.”
