Yes. And FDR was governor of New York and already had presidential ambitions.

But I don't know how much of a public figure he was on the issue in 1929. There is much potentially wrong in Biden's statement (though not so much in the sentiment attributed to FDR) but I think TV was the main laughing point.

Of course, the obvious response from McCain is to make a joke of it if he is secure enough in the age issue. Some version of I knew FDR and you're no FDR.
