Joe Biden really needs a refresher on U.S. History

I was shocked at a comment I heard from Joe Biden on NPR this morning. He was recalling a conversation with he had with Khaddafi about democracy. He allegedly mentioned that Democracy in Lybia means that the people could vote Khaddafi out. Khaddafi denied this because he "led the revolution", or some similar nonsense. Biden compared him to George Washington, who led our revolution, but then Biden said that the people voted him out. I am ashamed that a U.S. Senator, and a leader of the Democratic Party, doesn't even know that Washington stepped down voluntarily, and that he most likely would have been re-elected if he had chosen to run again. Biden is a disgrace.

1. I really doubt he equated qaddafi to Washington

And I really doubt he doesn't know that Washington decided to end it after 2 terms
