The man was given a full colostomy bag, and he did his best to make lemonade. RIP Gerry.

I remember Ford as a decent man who did a pretty good job in the short while he was President.

 

RIP

I was not thrilled when Ford pardoned Nixon, but in retrospect it was both the right thing to do, and an incredibly principaled thing to do. He put the nation's welfare ahead of his own political agenda, and very few of his succesors imo would have taken such a step. I suspect in future years his stature as a President will rise. I am personally very glad he holds the record for longest lived President.

 

Rest in Peace.

Farewell, Mr. President. Your place in history was secured long ago, but maybe with the vision of hindsight, as TrekZ stated, your stature will rise. Say hi to Ron for me!

President Ford

Not only was he the only president to not be elected

But was the only MAN to put the country ahead of his

political future.

He brought honor and respect back to the office.

His legacy has yet to be written

Am proud to say he is a Michigander
