I’m old enough to remember, “I like Ike!” Ike wasn’t on the list. But, I still like Ike!

Eisenhower did a better job than most give him credit for. And the reason for that is because Eisenhower never looked for credit or applause. He liked to keep low key and just make things happen.

Now, they all want to be Rock Stars taking credit for things they didn't do and blaming others for things they did do.

It's all Show Biz now, Eisenhower was the last non Show Biz president.

Ike wasn't on the list, but his immediate predecessor and successor, both lesser presidents, were.

Ike is underrated for sure, considering the times he had to guide the country through. The commies becoming ever more bold, keeping up with their emerging military forces, nuke and conventional.

Considering he did not have the intel available today, he did a damn fine job making sure the US was secure enough for the stable 50's and prosperity we still enjoy the aftereffects of. He had a load of issues to deal with, Iran, VN, Egypt, etc. Being the Supreme Commander prepared him for the avalanche that followed WWII.
