SOURCES: FORMER PRESIDENT GERALD FORD'S HEALTH TAKES TURN FOR THE WORSE... DEVELOPING...
President Ford was the recipient of the worst press coverage I can recall. The press constistently portrayed him as a bumbling idiot and took delight in highlighting his physical mishaps even though he was he most athletic president in history.
You can replace Ford with Bush and it sounds exactly the same.. The press hates anyone with an "R" after their name.
"The press constistently portrayed him as a bumbling idiot and took delight in highlighting his physical mishaps even though he was he most athletic president in history."
You got that right. His wife was a dancer when young. Ford was very athletic. I wish him the best. He has lived a long and full life, a good man who came along at the right time as a much needed transitional President who could calm the country down. And he did.
Prayers for President Ford and his family.
Prayers for a Michigan boy who who did us proud.

At his swearing-in President FORD stated that "America's long nightmare of Vietnam was over."
NOT.

Thank you for that quote. I had never seen it. That SAYS IT ALL. That says exactly what the socialist dimocrats are all about. EXACTLY.
Prayers up!
It's amazing how few Americans even know about those camps. America's "long nightmare" did indeed end, but Vietnam's continues.
Do you have a link to a good source for how many people were sent to and died in those camps? I'm making Christmas cookies right now (slacking on Free Republic while I wait for the dishwasher to finish) so don't have time to do much research.
C'mon Mr. President, hold on as long as you can.
He was far more of man than the media ever admitted.
>>long national nightmare
I thought he was talking about Watergate. Of course I was 20-something at the time...
Prayers for the president and his family.
Sending my prayers for the President.
I worked for him and Mrs Ford off and on for several years when they had parties at the Rancho Mirage home. He is the most genuinely nice man I have ever met.
God bless President Ford.
For some reason, I hear the airhead reporters saying this verbatim. It's not like he's the oldest dead ex-president, so it seems redundant.
Prayers for President Ford and Betty!
Prayers for President Ford, Betty and his family.
You are correct.
Nothing on the website from the local (Palm Springs area, where we and he live) paper about this yet. A quick driveby to Eisenhower Medical Center would probably reveal a few hints, however.
