Big Blue Machine Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 He was a competent man and pulled America out of the Watergate mess. I know he pardoned Nixon, but Nixon learned his lesson anyway. Everyone needs to be forgiven, like the Lord says. He finished the American witdrawnal from Saigon. He tried to get America out of the recession but couldn't comtrol it. Although he wasn't the most charmastic speaker, he got his message though. What-you-see-is-what-you-get was a classic style of his. He was clumsy at times yes, notably for the many times he fell down the stairs of Airforce One. But everyone falls now and again. Still I guess it's alittle embarassing when the leader of the free world falls down the stairs of his own airplane. Gerald Ford was a good president and should have won his first term. He's one of my favourite and highly rated presidents. Quote And as I take man's last step from the surface, for now but we believe not too far into the future. I just like to say what I believe history will record that America's challenge on today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And as we leave the surface of Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and god willing we shall return with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.
