"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.'"

Of course, very few people actually heard him, since he wasn't President at the time and everybody else was listening to the radio...

We gotta start documenting this stuff. "Bidenisms"...

I think Biden said McCarthy caused the crash.

As Reason's Jesse Walker footnotes it: "And if you owned an experimental TV set in 1929, you would have seen him. And you would have said to yourself, 'Who is that guy? What happened to President Hoover?'"

Aahh, Democrat revisionism!! It's soooooo refreshing . . . . . . . . . . and wrong!!!

At least now there is no doubt about the Obama campaign. Obama campaigns through all 57 (or is it 58, now?) states while Biden waxes nostalgic about FDR and the 1929 stock market crash!!

What a pair . . . . . . . . of doofuses!!

I figured Obama/Biden would have blamed Bush for the depression.

Well, Roosevelt did put it on his web site. That’s something.

I think it’s a populist appeal to the historically-illiterate youth vote that Obama is counting: see, I’m an old white guy, but I’m really just like you, basically saying, “F*** history, it was a boring class anyway.”

Roosevelt was a rookie Governor of New York in 1929. Maybe it was on MSNBC. That would at least explain why nobody but Biden saw it.

Herbert Hoover was President from 1929 - 1933.

Franklin Roosevelt came next.

If there was television during that time only a handful of Americans owned one.

So, Americans listened to the radio or watched the news reels at the movies.

Biden is a moron.

Liberals, Democrats and blacks revise history to suit their purpose. This is nothing and will receive little notice by the MSM because they are liberal Democrats.

And of course Katie called him on it right then and there...Wrong.

And folks wonder why the value of a UVA degree continues to depreciate.

Perhaps he’s referring to the stock market crash of 1937. But even if FDR did to on TV, his audience would have been rather small, for obvious reasons.
