If I remember correctly, the country lost its shite when Reagan died and the response to ford was an afterthought by comparison.

Didn't help that Reagan's was the first big state funeral since LBJ's (31 year difference) and that Ford's was during the holidays/New Year's.

Plus...Reagan.

Ford was barely even President. Basically a place holder. He was the only President to not be elected as Vice-President or President.
