I actually saw the "Whip Inflation Now" speech in which President Ford encouraged us to wear "WIN" buttons. And I think the WIN button pretty much sums up the Ford Presidency.
This button sums up the brilliant and sophisticated Ford campaign of 1976.
If Ford had beaten Carter - I like to think the Iran Hostage Crisis wouldn't have happened - or it would have been handled better... But I'm not sure. I don't think there was that much difference between Gerry and Jimmy. During our country's post-Vietnam illness (a lingering malady among Democrats today) it would have taken a "Reagan" to march into Tehran and explain a few things. But that train has left the station, and here we are today.

Is that your very own button?
The 10-speed bike I got for Christmas in high school had "WIN" embossed on the head of the bolt that held the handlebars on the bike. I guess my parents must have whipped inflation when they bought my bike.
...Only if they purchased the bike during the Ford Administration.
Oh, and that's not my button. I was looking for a picture of a WIN button and found this one on EBAY.
