I am sick of the press saying that Ford became "good friends" with Jimmy Carter."

Here is what Ford said about Carter in 1981:

(From "Ronald Reagan in Private" pg 98)

…And then one more person emerged from somewhere. I apologized again and asked for one more photo and assured them this was the last photo.

“You’re right,” snapped Carter. “I don’t care who else is on this plane, I’m not doing any more photos.” He turned on me, raising his voice. “Do you understand me?”

“Yes, sir, I do,” I told him. Carter stormed out of the executive lounge.

I was devastated. The thirty-ninth president of the United States had just taken me apart. The photos hadn’t seemed like such a big deal and, in fact, Ford hadn’t objected.

“I really screwed this up for President Carter,” I said to Ford.

“No, you didn’t young man,” Ford said warmly. “That worked fine.”

He grinned at me as if he were confiding a secret.

“I’ve always said,” he told me, “that you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shi*t.”

With that, he shook his head. President Ford made me feel human again.

That is what President Ford thought of Jimmah Carter, chicken sh*t.

President Ford summed up Carter pretty well

I love that vignette!

Resting in front of the house, I thought about what a humble man he was.
