Truman vs. Eisenhower

[dw93]

Truman. While I consider Eisenhower to be a good President on balance, his stock as President as really fallen for me in recent years. Truman IMHO was also dealt a much tougher hand than Eisenhower was and Truman, despite having more to lose politically, pushed for Civil Rights a hell of a lot harder than Eisenhower did. Ike was also the first President to actively pander to the religious right.
