A Man Ahead of His Time

This is getting entertaining. I would love to see the looks on the faces of Barry's campaign staffers each time someone sticks a microphone in front of Joe Biden. It has to be just utter pain and anguish. Lunch Bucket Joe offered the following bit of historical perspective while discussing the current financial crisis with Katie Couric:

“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.’”

OK. Let us disect:

1. When the stock market crashed - October 29, 1929. "Black Tuesday" as it was known. The President of the United States? Herbert Hoover, not FDR. FDR was not elected until 1932.

2. Franklin Roosevelt got on the television - Well, we've already established FDR was not president at the time. Now, the television was still in development in 1929. The first household TV sets weren't introduced for another ten years. If you happened to have a TV at the time, you wouldn't have seen FDR or Hoover anyway since there were no broadcast networks in existence.

I gotta tell you, this Biden is a godsend! And it's only September. Bravo, Joe! Bravo! Let's keep the good times rolling! I'll bet the Obama camp wishes they could sequester him and send out a body double for the debate.
