Joe Biden's denunciation of his own campaign's ad to Katie Couric got so much attention last night that another odd note in the interview slipped by.
He was speaking about the role of the White House in a financial crisis.
"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.'"

First question to Biden in debates should be.... WHO WAS PRESIDENT IN 1929???
He might need the assist ...
To: Artemis Webb
Herbert Hoover was President from 1929 - 1933.
Franklin Roosevelt came next.
If there was television during that time only a handful of Americans owned one.
So, Americans listened to the radio or watched the news reels at the movies.
Biden is a moron.

Liberals, Democrats and blacks revise history to suit their purpose. This is nothing and will receive little notice by the MSM because they are liberal Democrats.

I think I may have one of those old 1929 TVs in my barn, but the fire brick is burned out and the boiler is split.

"Maybe they are forcing Biden to say these moronic things so they can say he isn’t mentally able to serve so he will have to be dumped." What does that say about the "1" who chose him?

"Liberals, Democrats and blacks revise history to suit their purpose. This comes off as rather bigoted. You may want to revise that to "liberal blacks". That or come up with some revisionist history promoted by Clarence Thomas, or Thomas Sowell, or...

Perhaps he’s referring to the stock market crash of 1937. But even if FDR did to on TV, his audience would have been rather small, for obvious reasons.
