There was an article in my local paper ( Republican American) today about a statement that Joe Biden made. He said " 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,'"....Well there are two problems with this statement. 1. FDR was not in the White House yet...Hoover was. 2. Television was not introduced until 1939..a decade after the market crashed. So Senator Biden let me remind you that has a vp nominee you should probably know a little bit about history, and have a fact checker check your statements before you make statements that make you look like a fool ( or get a better speech writer?) I'm surprised he did not say that with Al Gore's great invention of the internet FDR was able to write on his blog his feelings about the market crash.
