Joe Biden History Lesson

[Rotator]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice presidential candidate Joe Biden says today's leaders should take a lesson from the history books and follow fellow Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt's response to a financial crisis.
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened,'" Barack Obama's running mate recently told the "CBS Evening News."
Except, Republican Herbert Hoover was in office when the stock market crashed in October 1929. There also was no television at the time; TV wasn't introduced to the public until a decade later, at the 1939 World's Fair.

Unbelievable. I have two questions:

1. Exactly WHO needs a history lesson?
2. What would happen if McCain or Palin had said this?

Sounds like he might have meant something else about Franklin Rosevolt, and he must have addressed the people by radio.

Actually it sounds like Biden is an incompetent boob just like we all knew.

So when he says "Franklin Roosevelt" he means "Herbert Hoover" and when he says "television" he means "radio."



Do tell, where do I obtain a copy of that codebook?

I think you'll find it near the rear of the homosexual handbook.

Obama and Biden are perfect for each other, totally ignorant of history!

Applause from the right?

Despite the gaffe, he is neither incompetent nor a boob.

Yeah, because you say so.
