From the mind of Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden:
"Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, is demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about, and communicates to people, if you listen to me, and follow what I'm suggesting, we can fix this. When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on television, and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed, he said, look, here's what happened."
UPDATE: Apparently, it is not obvious to some Obama supporters why this statement is wrong. So, here it goes:
Great Depression - 1929
TV were commercially available - late 1930s.
FDR President - 1933- 194?
Is that clear enough, now?
