    haha I hadn't heard of these Biden goof ups until today...eeeesssh some of these are pretty bad. And this is the guy who brings 'experience' to the table?

    "And last night, in an interview with “CBS Evening News,” Biden misspoke when he told anchor Katie Couric that today's leaders should take a lesson from the history books and follow former President Franklin D. Roosevelt's response to a previous national financial crisis.

    Declared Biden: “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.'”

    What's wrong with that, some might ask?

    Well, for starters Republican Herbert Hoover was president when the stock market crashed in October 1929. Second, Roosevelt didn't take office until four years later. And, not to be picky, but there were also no televisions in use at the time. Radio was Roosevelt's favored medium. "

    Plenty more here:

    • When Biden was chosen, the media said he would spout his mouth off. The guy is fiery. As long as the GOP gets caught twice as badly, it's all good.joeth
    • ... caught twice as badly, it's all good. http://liecount.com/…joeth
    • Very true. Just disappointed in the overall lack of intelligence, moral fiber and general lack of caliber of both sides.tommyo
