Joe Biden's Mental Decline Began A Long Time Ago

By Tony Phyrillas

A lot has been written about Joe Biden's rapid mental decline since he won the Democratic nomination for President, but it turns out Biden's cognitive difficulties have been around for a very long time. 

I wrote this back in September of 2008 when Joe Biden was picked as Barack Obama's Vice Presidential running mate. He was showing signs of dementia even back then.

Joe Biden: Don't Know Much About History

The Democratic Party and their media allies have the nerve to make fun of John McCain's age or Sarah Palin's inexperience after Joe Biden makes more unbelievable gaffes.

"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.'"

-- Sen. Joe Biden, Democratic Party nominee for vice president

There's so much wrong with those two sentences, I'm not sure where to begin.

OK, let's start with the stock market crash. It happened in October 1929, four years before FDR took office as president. The president in 1929 was Herbert Hoover.

Regardless of who occupied the White House at the time, it would have been impossible for the president to get "on the television" because television wasn't introduced in the United States until 1939, a full 10 years after Sen. Biden recalled seeing FDR on TV. And besides, television wasn't readily available in U.S. homes until the 1950s.

The medium of mass communication in 1929 was radio, but even that wasn't used to its fullest by politicians until FDR began his series of "fireside chats" during the Great Depression.

It's remarkable that such a learned man as Sen. Joe Biden knows so little about U.S. history. The liberal media touts Biden as the most intelligent member of the U.S. Senate. That doesn't say much for the rest of the members of the Senate, does it?

Let's review. Sen. Biden didn't know who was president during the stock market crash of 1929 and had no idea when television was introduced in the U.S. What else doesn't he know?

And this is the party that makes fun of John McCain's age and Sarah Palin's inexperience.

With Election Day just around the corner, you have to wonder how much Sen. Barack Obama regrets picking Biden as his running mate.
