...restive populace anxious for a demonstration of presidential leadership. But Ford's aides advised him to try to build public support for his presidency by moving out into world affairs. He was accompanied on the trip by a retinue of 153 reporters, including TIME Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey and Correspondent Bonnie Angelo...
...very well Hugh Sidey expressed my sentiments about the old-hat politicking of President Ford during his recent campaign tour! I'm the same age as Mr. Ford, and I can't believe that he still wears the same dated political garment worn during our college years.

Aside from the catchy tune and schmaltzy sentiment, the ditty had a further point: it was once Franklin Roosevelt's campaign song. After 16 years of Republican rule in the state, a Democratic candidate was finally putting back together the old Roosevelt coalition of labor, liberals and minorities. So successful was his political surgery that Carey...
