the only major criticism against ike was that he wasnt bold on civil rights but he did fight mccarthy and he was absolutely not a segregationist... just did not use full power. However he did strongly enforce brown v board of education in little rock alabama which was a major historical milestone of american history....must be credited with being the first to alert the country to the potential danger of the military industrial complex...he used that term.
looked a little like don rickles....but was classy and civil.
a way better then average president who goes up in his evaluation steadily.
and yes the interstate highway was a major accomplishment.
