23. Hoover doesn't belong on that list
How can you detest Herbert Hoover?

He is arguably the best human being to ever become president. He did more for people he didn't know than maybe anyone in US history.

He didn't do enough to turn the Depression? Well, probably not, but he did far more than any other president before him. The fact the FDR did lots more should not give the conclusion that Hoover didn't do anything.

There are far worse people that could be added to the list if someone needs to be detested.
