Tribute to Ford
I know it happened 6 months ago but I wanted to return with my tribute to former president Gerald Ford
Many people see him as the lame duck president.Never actually elected and when he got in, didn't really do much at all.
While that may indeed be true I think he did enough. For lack of better words he was the "rest" we needed after over a decade of political termoal with Vietnam and the scandel of Watergate.
While many may be pissed about the presidential pardon of Richard Nixon I believe it was a good decission to be made for the country. As if we had not put the scandel to rest it could cost us a lot in many ways (most ecconomic with the trials that would be involved)
He didn't do it for Nixon he did it for the good of the nation. Ford was a very sweet and honest man (which can usually be a problem for a president...i e Jimmy Carter)
Inflation and uneployment fell durning his administration.
He did a lot without to much shake up of the country.
While I don't think he was our best president he was certiantly one of the better ones. That's why I say "President Ford, you will be missed"
