When all is said and done, what will history say of US President Gerald R. Ford (R-MI)?
Ford died 11 years ago today. When the history about his presidency has been written, what will history say of him?
He pardoned Nixon when he should have allowed an indictment, and aside from that did nothing.
He pardoned Nixon
He personally took over the Mayguez Operation and got 18 Marines tortured and killed
He said Poland under the Soviet Union was a free country
He decided to fight a recession by handing out "Win" buttons to the entire country
He decided that a 55 mile an hour speed limit was ok since he went everywhere in a helicopter
He was a fool for pardoning Nixon.
The best thing about Ford is probably the Mustang. And the F-150.
" he was a ford, not a Lincoln ".
A dundering fool.
Not much, except for his role in pardoning Nixon and being the only President to not be elected to either the Presidency or the Vice Presidency.
Gerald Ford was a lame duck politically from the day he took the Presidency. He had a Democrat House and Senate which forced the country into a poor economy. The public suffered.
He tripped and fell alot, he denied America its chance to put Nixon in jail and suffered politically for it. Came up with the "majic bullet" theory for the Warren comission report.
Nixon picked him for VP because he was good at coverups.
- Would the most patriotic thing all those around the President could do be to completely ignore all his commands and attempt to convince him? To resign for the good of the country? Then, Pence could pardon him for all crimes (just like Ford pardoned Nixon) and the country will be safe once again.
- Why did Ford say she didn't tell anyone about the attack until 2012, but one of her classmate said everyone spoke about it for days? After it happened? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/...chool.html
- When Feinstein can't say everything Ford said was truthful proof truth and the welfare of this country doesn't matter to her? An honorable person would have started this process in July and would have spent time proving the content… Not seeing if it could delay the process when everything else failed miserably.
- What's the difference in the level of the errors, here? Obama said there were 57 States and that Ford invented the automobile. Trump said? Airports instead of seaports or just ports. It looks like the same basic thing. Slip of the tongue. How can libs make such a big deal out of one without seeing that the other is almost identically the same kind of error? .
