"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed," Biden told Couric.

And - the Perky One didnt catch this either, I'm sure.Even if she did - I'm sure she would not want to embarass the Senator for such a dumb remark by pointing it out to him.

He means these:

Was this seared in his memory?

....Kranish indicated that Kerry’s Christmas in Cambodia was a critical turning point in Kerry’s life.
::::::::
John “F-ing” Kerry has only had two major turning points in his life....both occurred when he hustled and married very rich skirts......we must give him credit for those “scores”....without that, he probably would have starved to death or had been dealt justice by mobs of swift-boat vets....

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed," Biden told Couric. "He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'"

Biden's an idiot...everyone knows FDR posted it in YouTube, then went on CNN.

I wish we knew what was discussed in the meeting between obammma and bubbah on 9/11. Bubbah doesn't really look like he's behind obammma, but plug may get the axe seeing the recent chastising obammma gave him regarding the repulsive ad. Why would Hillary take the second seat. Maybe the clintons are planning to totally derail the democrats train and let McCain handle the financial crisis as well as the Mid East situation.

Unless I'm mistaken, absentee voting has already started and a bunch of absentee ballots have been sent overseas.

If he bails/gets pushed out now, I don't see how they can get the ballots changed in time.

Biden to FDR...”Hey Franklin, STAND UP, let the people see you”./sarc

That's where I saw the Leprechaun. He tells me to burn things.

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed,”

This is the most historically ignorant observation I’ve ever heard. If a Republican said it, it would be front page and lead story news until the election, but it’s understandable how Ms. Kouric wouldn’t have picked up on it-this kind of knowledge is clearly above her pay grade.

Come on folks...let’s be fair here....gaffes happen all of the time. We know that Biden meant “Teddy Roosevelt” which is the correct answer according to him. He has a very high IQ you know. You shouldn’t be criticizing a man with this high of an IQ.

[onedoug]

Slow Joe.

[Deb]

Didn’t Obama know who Biden was? The man is not just stupid or goofy...he’s insane.

[theDentist]

Biden must’ve plagarized some Middle Schooler’s C grade History Term Paper. Or one of Obama’s writers put it together for him.

OHG - clueless.

He prefaces his gaffe with “Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence that a candidate knows what he's talking about...” and then drops his ignorance by saying Roosevelt, in the 1929 Crash, got on TV - He wasn't Pres until 1932 - and no one had TV’s at home until 50’s...

get this out to Rush, Hannity, Beck, et al - and it would make a great one for Brit Hume -

It's these dumba*s gaffes that make him a laughing stock that will impact more than anything - and they can't accuse of “being mean.” He said it. Let him explain it.

I remember watching the first ‘public’ TV’s through store windows when - 48-49? Most people didn't have TV’s in their homes until mid to late 50’s.

[rvoitier]

ROTFLMAO!

Aw Geez, Frank.

[ltc8k6]

It’s a triple header gaffe...or worse

No TV, FDR was the Governor of New York at the time, as President, his first fireside chat on the radio was in 1933...

And we didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

Joe, how is potato spelled?

[GoldenPup]

I have a simple question...HOW CAN THE GOOD PEOPLE OF DELAWARE KEEP RE-ELECTING THIS COMPLETE IDIOT????? Surely, in the whole state, there must be SOMEBODY with intelligence. Sad.
