What a disgrace that Michelle is going to tarnish that service. Remember, Michelle is the one who followed a "pastor" who said, "G*d D*amn America!" .... and that same Jeremiah Wright married them. Disgraceful!!! Betty would object!!!! RIP Betty!

Betty and Gerald Ford have not lived in Michigan since 1947. They were born in Michigan and left the state to pursue a life in politics and were forced to build their library in Michigan does not mean they have to return to Michigan.
