Experience



As we evaluate the experience of actual and potential occupants of the Oval Office, it is revealing to consider a few of the leaders Dwight Eisenhower had dealt with prior to becoming president:
  • Franklin D. Roosevelt
  • Harry Truman
  • Winston Churchill
  • Charles de Gaulle
  • Alan Brooke
  • Bernard Montgomery
  • George Marshall
  • George Patton
  • Omar Bradley
  • Douglas MacArthur
  • Georgy Zhukov

If only he had defended Ike against McCarthy.

Ron,

I think you meant to say if only he had defended George Marshall against McCarthy. True. That was a blotch on an otherwise fine record.

Hello Michael-
I vote that Fox Conner be added to the list. At the top, because I'm fussy.

Sippican,

Excellent addition. Eisenhower would probably agree with that ranking.
