If I am reading correctly, the error in logic referenced appears to be based in an error of fact, which is shared with the creator of this question... the quote given connects Democrat (not democratic, which means something else, but I digress) presidents with the outbreak of swine flu.
Swine flu broke was reported to break out in 2009, while the USA was being ruled under President Barack h. Obama, who is a Democrat. Nothing factually wrong with that part. She did mix up the party affiliation of President Gerald R. Ford in 1976, which is what this question should really be about.
Incidentally, she didn't bring up the outbreak in 1918, when the USA had Thomas Woodrow Wilson (also a Democrat) for President.
