CITIZEN ALERT v1.136
PRESIDENT FORD DIES
MIRROR IMAGES
President Ford died Tuesday, he was 93, our longest living President. And what struck me most about it all when I was going back and reading his obit and looking back through some of his past was how much the next President will mirror Ford's presidency.
Taking over in the midst of an unpopular war and an even more unpopular President, Ford was welcomed with open arms by the American people. His openess in handling issues and the press was in direct contrast to Nixon and all his dark secret meetings. And then there was Vietnam. It was during his watch that the end was declared and the troops were brought home.
So, here we are now at the end of another presidency of a very unpopular President and an even more unpopular war, and I wonder, will the next President have the same effect on the country, will the next President come at his post with the same urgency to contrast himself against all that has gone wrong. We hope so.
