Very well done and moving eulogy by Henry Kissinger.
I would like to read the text of this.
This is truly a man who served this country, and not his own self-interest.

Kissinger: "Having known Jerry Ford and worked with him will be a badge of honor for all of us."
To: La Enchiladita
It is the comfort they need.
I hope so. Because, even if we disagreed with him, President for was the comfort our nation needed.

I saw it the day after and it nearly covered his whole chin, so it's much smaller now, but I guess at 80, it just takes longer to heal.
I had sympathy pains for him because I had that same kind of bruise from a fall many years ago.

No OBSESSIVE pursuit of his place in history...did Henry K. just say that? Love it! I'm so glad he's talking about his leadership as president and not just mentioning Watergate. Wonderful job, Henry.

Saw that!! He just can't help himself. He does what he can to portray himself as human, just can't quite figure out how it's done.
To: jackv
Kissinger's remarks about President Ford leaving the office w/out regret and not being concerned about his legacy in history were very telling.....but they probably went right over the heads of the 2 former presidents in the office. LOL
