In response to message posted by LincolnFan:

Unfortunatly Ford was always putting his foot in his mouth, especially on comments about geography. I read the following in one of Carter's books. "I went to Grand Rapids Michigan and found out later that I had called it Ceder Rapids. when Gerald Ford went out castigating me for it, he shouted to the T.V. cameras that apperently I didn't even know that Michigan was one of the 48 states. President Ford famous for his confusion about places, then had to spend a day or two convincing the news reporters that he really did know there were fifty states.
