I Like IKE In an age of uncertainty, Communist advances, war in Korea people want the reassuring, calm manner and smile of a father figure. Ikes opponent Is Adlai Stevenson is deemed a egg head. Not as likeable as Ike, and he's the same party as Truman Ike picks anticommunist Senator Richard Nixon to be his running mate.

Tricky Dick Nixon will become embroiled in a scandal about a secret slush fund from contributors and may be thrown off the ticket They buy time on TV and radio and he defends himself with the infamous Checkers Speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhQD2UFCIbY 75 to 1 in favor of Nixon They continue to hammer on the democrats for scandal. Ike promises to go to Korea and end the war. Ike and Nixon win the Whitehouse

Ike Presidency Ike believes in consensus building “ no one has a monopoly on the truth” Feels America should be run with business like efficiency. Appoints business leaders to cabinet. Gets Atomic Energy Act passed beginning of building Nuclear Power plants.

Re-election Ike gets re-elected running against Adlai Stevenson again. Less energetic but people still liked him Begins the interstate Highway System Over 42,000 miles Cost six times the estimate

Also created St Lawrence Seaway system of locks connecting great lakes to Atlantic

Ikes Legacy Ike has problems with the “cold war” heating up. Sputnik embarrasses us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHaJDuq6tBM Cuba goes commie(more on that later) Social security extended.

Foreign Policy CIA led coups in Iran, Guatemala, the Belgian Congo, and the beginning of our involvement in Vietnam. ( more on that later also.) and they became the modus operandi of the US after that. MAD Mutually assured destruction comes of age Soon after the election of 1960 JFK vs. Richard Nixon ( more on that later also)
