Did I hear that right?

Did Biden really say…”“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.’”

This wouldn’t have been sooo completely hilarious, if it hadn’t followed a statement that “we have to get our history lessons right”.

Answer #1

None of it is true. He really goofed on this one. But it was harmless.

Besides there not being television in 1929, FDR wasn’t even elected unti 1932. Hoover was president at the time.

Answer #2

Sorry, leevan, the whole thing was “made up”…LOL

It was far from and “end of the world” statement…but it certainly was a good laugh…I keep wondering, when did someone tell him of his goof? I wonder what he said?…LOL…

Answer #3

leevan - FDR wasn’t president when the market crashed. Yep, what a goof. They did a funny piece on the Daily Show about it.

Answer #4

isnt it partly correct? I think the only part that is downright wrong was the “television” part. im not sure whats so good, or bad, about this statement

but from what I see, he didnt say anything controversial, at least
