The unelected President Gerald Ford.

I take exception to all the eulogizing for the unelected President Gerald Ford.

I have no use for a President that didn't know of the Peace Treaty of Brest-Litovsk of March 3, 1918 and that by pardoning Richard Nixon made the Republicans respectable again too soon.

Had the investigation of Mr. Richard Nixon’s Watergate escapade been dragged out in public to its due course, maybe Ronald Reagan, George H Bush and mercifully even George W Bush would never have been Presidents of the USA. That would have been the greatest blessing America could have hoped for.
