Gerald Ford actually said...

"The blame for this problem is solely on the shoulders of the United States Congress."

"I can also report to you that the worst economic recession America has suffered in 40 years has been replaced by a strong and stable economy."

"I proposed to the Congress that we make it a mandatory certain penalty for anybody who commits a crime while in the possession of a firearm."

"I think that makes much more sense than having Federal bureaucrats in Washington in 26 different cases telling the people in Indianapolis how to spend their money."
