...but Biden doesn't know history!!


WASHINGTON — 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.

This is merely Biden's warm-up act. Wait until he REALLY starts to mis-speak!

If Palin had made that mistake, they'd try to portray her as inexperienced, and a lightweight.

If McCain had said that, they'd portray him as just old, and borderline senile.

Biden says it, and apparently it's not that big of a deal.

Once again we see the hypocrisy of the liberal mainstream media.

If Sarah Palin had made these mistakes, there would be nonstop news coverage bombarding us day and night.
