The president commented on the death of Gerald Ford but it was hard to find the official text of his speech outside of the White House website (which is, incidentally, WhiteHouse.GOV and not WhiteHouse.ORG [which is definitely worth checking out] and not WhiteHouse.COM either [which is not]). Anyway, what I HEARD about what he said on the radio (WCBS-AM) was this:
...which seemed to me to be awfully self-serving. He might have been talking about his own vision of himself and Iraq. The strange thing is that this bit doesn't appear in the official comments on the White House site. I don't know when he said them but I'm wondering if the radio and newspapers are picking this quote because it is so ironic. I know I'm defending Dubya but what are you going to do?Gerald Ford distinguished himself as a man of integrity and selfless
dedication. He always put the needs of his country before his own, and did
what he thought was right, even when those decisions were unpopular. Only years
later would Americans come to fully appreciate the foresight and wisdom of this
good man.
