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.
ReplyDeleteRon,
ReplyDeleteI 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-
ReplyDeleteI vote that Fox Conner be added to the list. At the top, because I'm fussy.
Sippican,
ReplyDeleteExcellent addition. Eisenhower would probably agree with that ranking.
