I’m sorry, but while he was a relatively decent leader, Eisenhower was overrated. He was at the right place at the right time. The United States had a competitive advantage during the Eisenhower era it never had before or since. He did very little to scale back the New Deal and kept the marginal tax rates quite high. He was a pretty good President, but not at Reagan’s level and Reagan faced much greater challenges. Why didn’t you respect Reagan at first? He successfully governed the largest state in the union.

Eisenhower and Reagan were different presidents at different times, your right on that....I have heard people say Eisenhower was a do nothing president that just played golf all the time, but at his time as president, the government was not it everybodys business as they are today...He knew how to lead and delegate and for his times, the interstate was thought to be impossible...but he got it started and we can travel across this country in relative ease....I was a kid during the 40's and vacations were a trip from hell in some cases, just getting to the destination....The whole country has benefited by that alone..My other memories of his presidency are nil but the government didn't start being a many tentacled monster under him....

As much as I hate democrats in control, most of the alphabet soup departments were given to us by republican presidents...

The Marxist democrats today are evil, and the republicans are stupid...

In the 80's when Reagan was elected, it was a landslide because of Carter and my not being from California, he was just an actor/governor from that state...He turned the Carter economy around, it took time but with a large government, like a large ship, it takes time to turn things around. I watched the interest rates go from 16-18% down to 8% in 3 years due to his policies, he did good, and interest rates continued to drop.. I didn't dislike him, he had a lot on his plate when he came in and did good, but your question on who was the best (I was looking way back) and am thankful for our systems of cross country roads...that happen to be the first thing that popped into my head....GG
