Steve,
Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!
I thought that line pretty well summed it up. I also liked Ike as I thought he had the country's interests ahead of his own. He took the German's Autobahn idea and made out first cross country highways.
