Joe Biden & Katie Couric Interview
Two Days ago, I received a phone call from a friend of mine in Chicago. My friend is a wholehearted democrat, who has some rather strong opinions against Sarah Palin. He feels very strongly that she is not fit to be the next vice president of the United States because of his own world views and personal beliefs.
After speaking with him, I started to wonder what Joe Biden has been up to. All this talk about the Republican vice presidential candidate, I thought it would be a good idea to compare and contrast the man Palin is running against. It’s been about a month now since Biden claimed Hilary Clinton might be a better fit than himself for vice president, and I really haven’t heard anything new – until now.
Watch this interview with Biden and Katie Couric. About 30 seconds into this interview clip, listen carefully to how Biden explains leaders instill confidence in others and how he describes the stock market crash of 1929.
Did you catch that? According to Biden, Franklin Roosevelt was the president when the stock market crashed in 1929. Now I’m no famous historian, but wasn’t Herbert Hoover the president in 1929? Didn’t Franklin Roosevelt become president in 1933? I’m sorry to say Biden, but to make matters worse the television wasn’t even commercialized in America until the 1940’s.
I don’t know about you, but this definitely rattles my confidence that Joe Biden is fit to be the next vice president of the United States. Not to mention if Palin made this mistake, the political world would have a field day exploiting this interview. Yet again, more evidence that the the majority of journalism in America is unethical, bias, and down right embarrassing.

Um, your comparing Palin’s list of failures, to his one historical inaccuracy that was off by a few years?
Yeah, I would have expected him to know better, but at least his problem can easily be solved by a quick google search or opening a history book. What can Palin do to fix her problems?
Joe Biden’s history of lackluster attention to detail is reinforced here. He had 1.7 GPA in College, couldn’t separate himself from a guy’s speeches that he was plagiarizing…course he’d been doing it since Law School so maybe he thought it was his life. Maybe the two brain aneurysms crossed some wires, but he isn’t a guy that gets things done. He has some experience, which is great since Obama has none. But since he doesn’t really try hard to learn at anything he does, what good does that experience really do us. There is a big difference between focusing on where someone has been and what someone has done.
