Trivial, but amusing. Wasn't McCain there at the time?
This morning on Fox News, Sen. John McCain tried to slam Sen. Joe Biden by saying at least Gov. Sarah Palin knows President Franklin Roosevelt "didn't talk to the American people over television."
While Biden wrongly said last week that FDR addressed the American people on television after the 1929 stock market crash, McCain is wrong that FDR didn't talk to the American people over television.
Roosevelt was the first president to appear on television when he spoke at the opening session of the New York World's Fair on April 30, 1939. The first presidential address from the White House was by President Harry Truman on Oct. 5, 1947.
