Here Comes President Ford?

In October 1973 Gerald Ford was appointed vice president, but then in 1974 he became the first non elected president. Now he plans to lead this country without any planning, without any say from the people? He steps into office and he pardons Nixon? After Nixon spent the nations money, is that fair? If people had a say in President, would Gerald Ford be our first choice? The economy isn't going to fix itself, and whose going to help it, because the president hasn't. In a time of need a nation should be able to turn to their leader, but let's just say Ford is no FDR or JFK. SO the question stands, who do we turn to?
