[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1726803, member: 7488"] I agree. Remember (well I don't... as I'm not that old, but from what I studied anyway) that Ike was courted by both parties to run for President in 1952. He wasn't much of a political elite (well, as much as one cannot be when a West Point grad and 5 star General) and probably was a bit naive to the nuances and posturing of the political process. I bet there were a ton of people looking to attach themselves to and prey on him (meaning, use him as a vehicle to push their agendas) considering he was new to politics when he ran for president. That was his first elected position, POTUS. [/QUOTE]
