When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'

P.S.- And for those of you who can't see the humor in this quote, let me explain to you that Franklin D. Roosevelt was the president from 1933-1945, and that it was Herbert Hoover who was president during the stock market crash of 1929. Also the first televised presidential address to the nation didn't occur until 1947 with President Truman, and this was more than two years after Roosevelt had died in office.
...At least Sarah Palin knew that much about U.S. history!
