presidential blunders

It's ironic that one of our most athletic presidents became known as the clumsiest. Gerald Ford played center and linebacker for two national championship seasons at the University of Michigan. He was also an accomplished golfer, having once hit a hole in one at the Colonial Country Club golf course in Memphis, Tennessee. But despite Ford's athleticism, he suffered a series of high profile public slips and falls. Saturday Night Live's Chevy Chase lampooned Ford's falls, which contributed to Ford's reputation as a hapless and awkward (and non-elected) caretaker of the White House.
