Joe Biden and the Stock Market Crash

Remember back in 2008 when then-Senator Joe Biden gave an interview with Katie Couric and got his facts all screwed up?

Here's a clip:




Biden said: “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.’”

When the stock market crashed in 1929, Herbert Hoover was president. Roosevelt didn't take office until 1933. And, he spoke on radio, not television.
