Geert Mak
“Er kwam abrupt een einde aan de Amerikaanse kredieten waarop de internationale handel al jaren draaide. Het hele systeem was eigenlijk al sinds de Eerste Wereldoorlog zeldzaam kwetsbaar, maar Hoover maakte de problemen nog veel groter. Met zijn 1930 Tariff Act gooide hij de Amerikaanse grenzen dicht voor het handelsverkeer, andere landen reageerden op dezelfde manier, de wereldhandel – inclusief de Amerikaanse export – daalde uiteindelijk met een kwart.”
Geert Mak, Wisselwachter

Peter Beinart
“It's easy to see why conservatives would be salivating at the thought of a Hillary primary challenge. Presidents who face serious primary challenges—Ford, Carter, Bush I—almost always lose. The last president who lost reelection without a serious primary challenge, by contrast, was Herbert Hoover. But in truth, the chances that Obama will face a primary challenge are vanishingly slim, and the chances that he will lose reelection only slightly higher. No wonder conservatives are fantasizing about Hillary Clinton taking down Barack Obama. If she doesn't, it's unlikely they will.”
Peter Beinart
