I am sick of the press saying that Ford became "good friends" with Jimmy Carter."
Here is what Ford said about Carter in 1981:
(From "Ronald Reagan in Private" pg 98)
And then one more person emerged from somewhere. I apologized again and asked for one more photo and assured them this was the last photo.
Youre right, snapped Carter. I dont care who else is on this plane, Im not doing any more photos. He turned on me, raising his voice. Do you understand me?
Yes, sir, I do, I told him. Carter stormed out of the executive lounge.
I was devastated. The thirty-ninth president of the United States had just taken me apart. The photos hadnt seemed like such a big deal and, in fact, Ford hadnt objected.
I really screwed this up for President Carter, I said to Ford.
No, you didnt young man, Ford said warmly. That worked fine.
He grinned at me as if he were confiding a secret.
Ive always said, he told me, that you cant make chicken salad out of chicken shi*t.
With that, he shook his head. President Ford made me feel human again.
That is what President Ford thought of Jimmah Carter, chicken sh*t.

My family and I were traveling in CONUS when he ascended to the Presidency. I remember my late father's words at that moment: "he's not just some rich kid."
Farewell President Ford.
And that's all I have to say about that...

Thank you for this thread. I am lad President Ford is receiving the honors he deserves because of his his many years of military and governmental service. I have felt sad since I heard he died. May he Rest in Peace. May his family find comfort in the love and gratitude of the Nation. God Bless America.

The clergyman who spoke at the Ford funeral just now, (approx. 11:30 am EST) took the opportunity to make a political statement re the church and alluded to the fact that Ford was somehow in support of the new "changes" in the church such as female priests and gay bishops and that Ford didn't see that this should cause "divisiveness" in the church. It was enough to make me puke. What a liberal opportunist, and totally inappropriate at this State funeral.
