Let me be the first to say:
“Hoover’s fault.”
Yeah, sure....dream on.
Maybe this is part of the lasting impression that Scranton left with Joe.
Or perhaps it's part of his policy strategy as a supporter of public education.
Education: Biden believes that an early and long public education increases the quality of life for all people, decreases crime, and increases America’s competitiveness in the global economy. To that end, Biden wants to create 16 years of public school for all children: he would quadruple the number of students currently enrolled in Early Head Start, and double the number of students in Head Start programs. Biden is against school vouchers, and would instead improve public schools by hiring more teachers and giving scholarships to teachers who teach in high-need areas. He plans on providing more funding to the No Child Left Behind, and would increase Pell Grants and give further tax credits to students attending college.
Hillary isn’t going to take the VP slot. However, I CAN see plane trouble in Obama’s future and an unfortunate accident ushering in the Hillary presidency. Remember, the Klinton’s have a lot of people that can do amazing things to planes to make them accidently crash.

“With his fireside chats broadcast to the entire nation, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1933-1945) was considered to be a master of radio, the predominant broadcast media of his time. But few know that FDR appeared on television as well — the first president ever to do so. The occasion was the New York World’s Fair.
On the evening of April 30, 1939, FDR broadcast a short address to approximately 1,000 viewers then owning television sets. The New York Times reported that the signal was sent by RCA’s mobile TV van to a transmitter atop the Empire State Building and rebroadcast to the tiny television audience. The picture was “clear and steady,” the newspaper added. No one knew it at the time, but the president’s broadcast was the beginning of a media revolution that would eventually transform American politics, particularly the presidency. But it would take a while. FDR’s attention, and that of the nation at large, would soon be diverted by the outbreak of war in Europe, a conflict that would in time engulf the world, involving the United States and many other nations. Television was put on hold.
Even after World War II ended in 1945 — during the presidency of Harry Truman (1945-1953) — television was not a major player in politics. The dominant political media continued to be radio and the nation’s vibrant print press. Television sales, which had ceased during the world conflict, were still small. As late as 1951, there were only 1.5 million television sets in the United States, according to the Media History Project. But this was a tenfold increase in one year and sales of sets would soon skyrocket.
By the time Dwight Eisenhower (1953-1961) was inaugurated president in 1953, television sales had taken off. Millions of Americans were tuning into shows like, “I Love Lucy,” starring Lucille Ball. On January 19, an episode of “I Love Lucy,” portraying the birth of little Ricky, her on-screen son, was watched by 44 million Americans, more than had watched the president’s inauguration the next day. “They liked Ike, but they loved Lucy,” quipped the late actor Walter Matthau.”
