    He was 91 in this video! Still very sharp and with clear mind!

    Gerald Ford is really like Jimmy Carter, a honest, sensible, true-to-his-word man who became President at the worst possible time in history.

      Right on! I wish I could see Gerald Ford as I will try to see Jimmy Carter on his 98th bday in two weeks. Love them both!

      The two actually became very close friends.

    God, I wish there was someone like President Ford running for president. It's so depressing.

      Andrew Yang is pretty close to him if look at his policies including putting money back in the hands of Americans, not left not right but forward to fixing Americas current issues.

      Ford is the best and unique Republican ever! Wish more were like him.

    He was the only completely kind, honest and straight forward leader, the type on whom even God smiles.

    Gerald Ford hat sich sehr um Cathy OBrien gekümmert, man sollte das entsprechend würdigen!

    His pardon of Nixon was obviously controversial and even though it likely cost him in the 1976 election, I believe he did the right thing for himself and this country.

    I guess Biden will be viewed historically as similar to Ford. Both succeeded hugely controversial presidents. Both were moderate (yes, it's incredibly complex), both were perceived as boring at one time or another.

    Notice what Ford said at the beginning: "You have to a reputation for total integrity," "You have to have a reputation for hard work and discipline, and last and its very important. You have to have a capability for getting good people to work with you"
    I'm thinking Obama? No, no, and NO!

      I agree with every thing you said. I would have voted for President Ford. Why ?
      He did the right thing. The country needed to heal. Why is it that people that do
      the right thing are killed or get screwed ?

      @@frannyzooey11 even though I wasn't born till 1984 lol, I take it Ford was one of the top unique and purest Republican Presidents of our nation?
