Dwight David Eisenhower
The election of Eisenhower to the Presidency in 1952 had signaled a change in the prevailing weather of American politics - a return in effect, to Republican "normalcy" after 20 years of Democratic activism.
The domino theory: "You have a row of dominos set up," Eisenhower explains to a press conference, "you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is that it will go over very quickly." "If Indo-China passes into the hands of the communists" he told a doubting Winston Churchill, "the ultimate effect on our and your global strategic position... could be disastrous".
Dwight David Eisenhower was the U.S. President from 1952 to 1960. President Eisenhower announced during his first term "I am conservative when it comes to economic problems but liberal when it comes to human problems. Eisenhower was a good President but a Republican one so in the years between 1953 and 1960 the budget was unbalanced in 5 out of 8 years, and the national debt increased by roughly $20 billion.
