It's interesting to see that President Ford was a park ranger, naval officer during the war, skier, golfer, and of course was a nationally known college football star. Clearly a man with extraordinary physical and athletic skills and yet the left lampooned him as a stumbling, bumbling fool.
The left always demonizes republican presidents as either (a) stupid (b) evil or (c) evil and stupid. With Ford, they couldnt make evil stick, so they went with stupid. But he wasnt inarticulate, so they decided to portray him as so clumsy and unaware that he was barely able to walk. A goofball who cared only about football and would knock everything around him down as he plowed through a room. Even the kid movie "Gus" about a field goal kicking mule took such unwarranted shots at him. He deserved better.
President Ford will have as his legacy that he replaced Richard Nixon and began a healing process in the wake of Watergate and Vietnam, a process which was completed by Ronald Reagan. For that, he deserves our respect and gratitude.

Maybe the caption for the last photos should read Medal of Freedom instead of Medal of Honor, bestowed by Congress.

That says a lot about the Left. That approach has taken over ever since it worked to get Nixon out of office (not that I liked him).
Ford earned a Yale law degree, but Yale barely admitted it during the Ford years. That alone is quite an accomplishment for a man serving as a full-time coach.
The Left should have loved Ford for abandoning Viet Nam, although credit goes to all of Congress at the time. But the Left is never grateful for having its agenda carried out.
Ford was great for the economy and really knew the budget.
