Betty was a class act and America is a better place because she lived here.

My best wishes go out to the Ford Family tonight.

President Obama on Betty Ford

Text of President Barack Obama’s statement on the death of former first lady Betty Ford:

“Throughout her long and active life, Elizabeth Anne Ford distinguished herself through her courage and compassion. As our nation’s First Lady, she was a powerful
advocate for women’s health and women’s rights. After leaving the White House, Mrs. Ford helped reduce the social stigma surrounding addiction and inspired thousands
to seek much-needed treatment. While her death is a cause for sadness, we know that organizations such as the Betty Ford Center will honor her legacy by giving countless
Americans a new lease on life.


“Today, we take comfort in the knowledge that Betty and her husband, former President Gerald Ford, are together once more. Michelle and
I send our thoughts and prayers to their children, Michael, John, Steven, and Susan.”
