Biden on the 1929 stock market crash: "Franklin Roosevelt got on the Television"


By relantel - Posted on 23 September 2008

Biden on the 1929 stock market crash: "Franklin Roosevelt got on the Television"... Rush played the audio in the first segment of the 2nd hour today, and Drudge has a link to a Politico story on it.

The quote is at the 1:58-2:07 mark of this 6:24 min video:

The full quote (from Politico):

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 slip-up on Television history (it was only experimental, and Roosevelt communicated via his "fireside chats" on radio), and Presidential timelines (Herbert Hoover was in his first year as President) was largely ignored, as it was part of the same CBS interview where Biden criticized the computer ad against McCain, calling it "Terrible".

Ok, so let's review Biden's contributions as the VP candidate for Obama... so far!

1. Biden declares that Hillary would have been a better VP pick than himself.
2. Biden declares that people should be 'patriotic' and pay MORE taxes.
3. Biden contradicts the Obama ad that says McCain can't email.
4. Biden contradicts Obama's position on the AIG bailout.

Did I miss anything? Why is there only going to be one VP candidate debate folks? I'll tell you why -- Biden isn't going to survive the first debate!
