I like that, Peggy Sue, please know that. And I do totally respect President Ford. But again, I do not understand his deal about waiting til he died, since it is "not good Presidential etiquette to criticize a sitting President" and President Bush is still the sitting president, even though President Ford has gone to heaven now.

Maybe I do not need to understand though. It's not as if I am gonna be the President anytime soon. But if I were, I would want to know the protocol and reasoning behind waiting til he died rather than the stipulation be waiting til Pres. Bush was out of office.
