39 and Holding

Dateline Wednesday, September 24, 2008-Washington.

QUOTE:

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,” he 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 TV at that time.

My comments, first off, this was buried in most major print media including the Statesman, and next I am given cause to wonder if Senator Biden flunked History 101, or is suffering first stage of old age. Finally, I don’t want this kind of mentality to be a heart beat away from being president.

I’m still an Independent Moderate but this article was too good to miss.
