Ford was careful not to lose touch with Grand Rapids. He did not try to impress his constituents by loading his district with pork: using his influence to land lucrative defense contracts or military installations for Grand Rapids.

Their expectations run more to trained-seal acts and Bobo the Dog-faced Boy, and their minds are thus unconditioned to accept such wonders.
