Perhaps the most notable eulogy from the funeral services of President Ford this week was the one given by President Carter. The two men epitomize the best in American politics; when Democrats and Republicans would fight and compromise and get things done, and then put it all aside at the end of the day and enjoy drinks and dinner together.
Ford and Carter became the best of friends following the 1976 election (in which Carter beat Ford), and the 39th President's admiration for his late friend, the 38th President, is plainly evident in the eulogy.
You can see Carter's remarks below (the last 30 seconds really got me). To paraphrase Thomas Friedman, Democrat Carter's praise and admiration of Republican Ford contains the real secret to America's sauce.
