Opinion of Dwight D. Eisenhower

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Well, you know the drill.

Option 1

[CPT MikeyMike]

Pretty much the right president at the right time.

Had he first been elected in the 1960's, I don't think he would have done as well.

[The Mikado]

Major Freedom Fighter.

His wartime record doesn't need to be discussed, because his accomplishments are such that everyone can recognize them.  During his Presidency, he sent in the National Guard to enforce Brown v. Board and signed the first Civil Rights legislation in nearly a century.

Eisenhower was the only Republican after Roosevelt for whom I would have voted.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Eisenhower was the only Republican after Roosevelt for whom I would have voted on his own merits.

Edited for my '72 and '84 GOP votes.

What's wrong with Mondale?

I just prefer Reagan on foreign policy, and the country was doing well at the time.

Doing well.

Right...

[ChrisFromNJ]

The last great Republican president.

The last great Republican president.

No, that would be our current President.

I don't hate him.  which says a lot considering he was a Republican (sort of), a president, and a military general.

[Rev. Matthew]

Isn't he the one who nuked Cuba during WW2?? HP!!

[exopolitician]

FF. One of my favorites.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

One of that whole generation of complacent conservative leaders that were in power in so much of the West-write-large  during the '50's and early '60's that it isn't funny.

[MasterJedi]

FF but he almost completely screwed us in the Cold War in general, specifically the spacr race.

[King]

Good, but he had an easy period to run the nation.  Once the Korean War ended the country pretty much ran itself.

[Torie]

Underrated President, who has been getting closer to what is his due as time goes on, in part because of the array of his successors.

[opebo]

Better Democrat than most modern ones...

[dead0man]

It's unfortunate that he didn't try harder to roll back some of the gigantic govt WWII and FDR had created before him.

It is my understanding that he was a supporter of those helpful programs.

[Flying Dog]

Total FF. As Opebo said, he was a New Deal supporter and one of the few GOP presidents to preside over a peaceful time in our country's history. Also, I commend him on his expansion of our transit system.

[Sensei]

Huge FF. We can use some Republicans like that today.

[AkSaber]

FF. One of my favorites.

Indeed.
