eisenhower" chester page jr. and elmer richardson explained that in addition to political concerns eisenhower was also part of a culture so inured to segregation that he was blinded to the commonplace injustices that it fostered and the power hierarchies that it maintained. his acceptance of the system came from his life experiences, such as growing up in kansas where segregation was practiced. working in the segregated military. and socializing with friends who made jokes about black people. his experiences probably also made him instinctively aware of the violent response that would result from any attempt to change the system. quote, if we attempt merely by passing a lot of laws to force someone to like someone else, he warned, we are just going to get into trouble. unquote. with these words i can imagine his acceptance of the system came from his life experiences, such as growing up in kansas where segregation was practiced. working in the segregated military. and socializing with friends who made jokes about

eisenhower, first and last was a man of moderation. he characterized his approach to problems as the policy of the middle way and he was utterly convinced that this policy offered the greatest chance for the successful resolution of the difficult problems that surrounded school desegregation. the most important tenant of this policy of the middle way was the avoidance of the political problem of our time is to find and stay on the path that marks the way of logic between conflicting arguments advanced by extremists of both sides and that will solve, he said, almost every problem that arises. an impartial judge who prevented confrontations of reasonable men the second tenant of moderation concerned the proper role of government in resolving emotional issues. eisenhower was a firm blefr in limited government and he was extremely skeptical that advocated the use of law or force to solve fundamental what he called human problems. the third tenet of the policy was caution. gradualism, said eisenhower, in all things. gradualism. give the par

president eisenhower returning to gettysburg. and there is clearly a lack of any interest in self promotion in president eisenhower's demeanor. he clearly bristled during the meredith episode that on the one hand he could see that this was fairly predickable but no one at the time seemed to be giving hip the credit he deserved. now with the hyper24 hour news cycles, you would think that in a more modern era surrogates would be out addressing the contrast, but there was -- there's nothing in the books that suggests that he was either champing at the bit to get out before the cameras to call attention to the contrast which would have benefited his legacy or that he was even calling folks together saying can we get a little strike team out to try to point out the contrast? and clearly that would have served him well. it was a short coming that took a while for people to come to grips with. >> i'd like to follow up, commenting on dr. sanders' point that eisenhower was first and last a man of moderation. can you be a leader from that

every time patton would come, eisenhower would come see us and george, did you see eisenhower? yeah, he is back there drinking tea, he says. you see him back there. he pushed his way and they wouldn't talk to each other. he came out, we had that meeting at 3:00 in the morning. we went there. and hodges and marshall and bradley was there. we got there and eisenhower wasn't there yet. early in the morning, 3:00, 3:00 in the morning. and here comes eisenhower with the big cadillac. big brush cadillac, you know. and where is the garrison hat? and patton says, where is your helmet? you come to the front lines, you know, and he said yeah. but said i don't have to wear it. he said okay. turn the jeep around so we went back. we left it there. never heard nothing no more from him, nobody, never heard. so that was a -- that's the way he worked, you know. then he would get, eisenhower would tell him to shut up, he is taking this town. so okay. by the time montgomery was there, we went through that town already. whatever he knew montgomery would do something, he would go fight it and get h

eisenhower was in rhode island. there is a military school there and he just went for vacation for a few days, so he had no idea and he became very angry because the platform had been changed and he hadn't been consulted and he didn't agree with the positions that had been changed toward rockefeller's point of view. and we had the hard time of controlling him. meanwhile, rockefeller did not press his campaign against nixon at the convention. that was sort of a trade-off. afterwards the convention was over, eisenhower's situation was serious enough that we flew directly to rhode island where nixon could spend a couple hours with eisenhower, sort of explaining the situation and try to bring him back on-board, and which he did. but eisenhower was -- didn't give up very easily. >> we interviewed mel laird. he was one who delivered the message to nixon that if the platform weren't changed back, eisenhower wouldn't support him. >> but see, he already had the nomination -- no, i guess he didn't. that was the start of the w

every time patton had come, eisenhower would come to see us, he'd say george, have you seen eisenhower? yeah, he's back there. you didn't see him back there? he always pushed his way -- they wouldn't talk to each other. we had that meeting at 3:00 in the morning. we went there. hodge and hodges. and marshall and bradley was there. we got there and eisenhower wasn't there yet. early in the morning. 3:00 in the morning. and i said here comes eisenhower with the big cadillac, with a big bright cadillac. he wore his george garrison hat. patton said, where's your helmet? the front lines. these are the rules that you wear a helmet when you come to the front lines. he said, i don't have to wear it. okay. turn the jeep around. so we went back. we left him there. never heard nothing no more from him. nobody never heard nothing. that's the way he worked. then he'd get eisenhower would tell him, montgomery's going to take this little town, so and so. okay. by the time montgomery was in there, we went through that town already, you know. he always -- whenever he knew montgomery was going to do som

eisenhower was in augusta playing golf. but this was dinner. you know. so he was in the phone booth talking to eisenhower and the maitre d's's phone rang again and it was kennedy. i picked it up. i got the feeling out of kennedy that he, too, felt the full impact that day because he just kind of wandered in the confers. he was very complimentary to me about i dressed better than pierre and all these little kind of things. just a very nice conversation. and that's when he told me about that -- when my speech was made is when he decided he'd won. but at any rate, so then we went back and by this time he'd talk to eisenhower and i had talked to kennedy and sew decided he definitely would do that. sew went back in his little phone booth in the pay phone and called kennedy. he was in palm beach at the family compound and kennedy -- kennedy said he would go up -- kennedy said, no, i can get a helicopter, i can come to key biscayne. so on monday he came to key biscayne and they met just the two of them in one of the suites at the key biscayne inn. that was when

dwight eisenhower did -- it's approved. if you think of the nixon majorities in 68 in 72 in the reagan coalition, it is southerners, white working class voters and suburbanites. well, what was dwight eisenhower's coalition? he was the first republican president to come close to kerry himself. he carried the deep south state louisiana in 1956. he did incredibly well the suburbs, which required part of the american medical scene pennies on the web in class voters and did very well among capital voters in union voters. he was kind of the proto- reagan majority. i would go so far as to say the reagan majority is completely based on the eisenhower majority if you look at county by county analysis went by the same counties. by this is able to persist so long? will come a of it is fortunate contingency, the coin flipping. the republicans happen to come in and times when the economy was on the upswing in democrats weren't fortunate -- i do want to get into that debate, she had johnson president the ended disastrously in in a carter

he is quoted eisenhower here. when i refer to the middle way, i merely mean the middle weight as it represents a practical, working basis between extremists , both of whose doctrines are flatly reject. so contentious. i want to find out this evening why eisenhower strength is obama's heiresses. [laughter] so here is dr. frank to tell us all about it. [applause] >> no, no. stand. >> okay. some water. thank you very much for this lovely introduction, and first of all, since i am a psychoanalyst and not a political analyst i will not predict to is going to win in 2012. but i will say that what makes bipartisan, obsessive bipartisan disorder a disorder is pre-empting of the discussion of the book in a way, but what makes it a disorder is that it becomes the driving factor in everything he thinks and does, so he ends up -- obama ends up negotiating with himself before he even negotiates with republicans. that is one reason it is a problem, and the second reason is that he thinks -- and we will get into this a little bi

[laughter] so that is my view on eisenhower. i wrote this book really because obama was a man who blazed across the national scene in the 2004 -- i had heard of him before 2004 because my son was a student at the university of chicago. he called me up once night after a speech in 2002 and obama was still a state senator. this card, he sounds like a psychoanalyst and talks about putting himself in other people's shoes and seeing things from their point of view. i don't remember his name, but he was pretty cool. in 2004 he give a speech which everybody knows when he talked about he does not see red state jobless states but he sees the united states, one country. it really struck a chord with a lot of people who had been feeling one way or another about george bush, feeling very bad about the elections in the supreme court, and there was a lot of division in this country. people rally to him, as everybody knows, but it turns out in retrospect that there were two obama's, and after he became president he was very different. everyone

he didn't really like eisenhower. he didn't say that to keb did but that was true. he said he wanted good relations and he hoped that they would be able to get together and work things out. kennedy wrote back and said, yes. i want good relations, also. and he proposed a meeting. kruzkhef state on the invitation and soviet intelligence was pretty good in those days and he knew the merps were going to to attack cuba. he alerted castro and told him to prepare for the attack which castro did as we know. and he also then decide to wait until he could see what the results were of the cuban exercise. we all know what happened at the bay of pigs. i don't need to describe it here but what's interesting is krukhef's reaction which was documented by his son who was written a very warm and loving, but also pretty detailed biography of his father. he could not understand kennedy. he said to his son -- perhaps lacks determination. he thought there was something wrong with a person who would ladies and gentlemen an attack and not carry it through. it was obvious the americans were

between eisenhower and others, they held khrushchev back for a while. nothing very much had happened except that there was a lot of talk. in 1961, john f. kennedy became president. essentially, the others had left the problem for him. eisenhower briefed him and said berlin was the number one problem that kennedy would have to face. and we're going to face that problem this morning. i'm going to talk, however, only about four particular instances. this thing goes on forever, which you can read in the document. i'll talk about the vienna summit between khrushchev and kennedy about the beginning of the wall august 13, when i was in berlin, about the checkpoint charlie crisis and the confrontation where i was also in berlin. finally, about the cuban missile crisis which had a connection to berlin that most people don't know about. i'm not sure it is in the documents. when kennedy became president in january 20, 1961, he started with two types of staffers. one who were called the best and the brightest. sometimes by themselves. were many people who came from

francis jeep sanza was a driver for general dwight eisenhower and general patton. he was chosen by general patton in 1944 during preparings for allied invasion of german occupied france and drove for him from d-day until the end of the war in europe in may 1945. later that year general patton died on december 21, 1945 as a result of an auto accident. mr. francis sanza received five medals and five bronze stars during his time of service. thank you. >>> my first ride in an airplane was in a waca open cockpit type plane, rode in the backseated on my father's lap. that was quite an experience. ultimately an air force recruiter told me i could be an aviation cadet. i asked what the deal was and they explained if i had passed through the pilot training program they would give me wings and commission. if they didn't want me, they didn't want me. i said, that's a no-brainer. they can teach me to fly and i can leave if i want to? okay. sign me up. ♪ >> we lost a lot of guys in korea. i fully didn't expect to survive. i met a friend of mine that i went to high school and co

and eisenhower had the advantage of this unique kind of combined headquarters that they had set up for anglo americans and this had created a lot of understandings. and marshall nevertheless would have been in a sense have been a novice in doing it that way. so that for all of that, roosevelt nevertheless said to marshall he kind of left it open to him. he didn't say if i appoint you will you do it and marshall would not say of course i want to do it. it's the greatest thing you could have in your career. marshall said, mr. president, i'll serve wherever you want me to serve and roosevelt made the famous remark, well, i cannot sleep nights with you out of the country and the appointment went to eisenhower. >> wasn't marshall also known for not -- roosevelt's -- >> i don't think he approved of laughing at jokes much. >> follow-up. >> and it was established if you bomb auschwitz that the germans repair this within days so bombing tracks was not a strategic move. >> okay. thank you. >> quick question on that. why perhaps did roosevelt get advice about bombing the actual concentration camp

and eisenhower proposed a compromise between those two extremes. [laughter] so that's my view on eisenhower. >> very good. >> i wrote this book really because, um, obama was man who blazed across the national scene in the 2004. um, i had heard of him before 2004 because my son, abe, was a student at the university of chicago, and he called me up once a night after a speech in 2002 when obama was still a state senator, and he said there was this guy who sounds just like a psychoanalyst, dad, and he talks about putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing things from their point of view. and he says i don't remember his name, but he was pretty cool. well, in 2004 he gave a speech which everybody knows which is when he talked about that this is -- he doesn't see red states and blue states, he sees the united states, he sees one country. and it really struck a chord with a lot of people who had been feeling one way or another about george bush, feeling very bad about the elections and the supreme court, and there was a lot of division in this co

. >> host: what was the purpose of president eisenhower's visit? >> president eisenhower's visit, which happens in 58, i believe, the winter 1958, was -- first of all, it was a tour that he put together in this in the days of his administration. as presidents do, they go abroad and polish their international credentials. it was really to kind of signal to the afghan the american commitment to supporting afghan development who ended attempts to create some sort of strategic partnership with the afghans that, of course, with no place militarily and was never very high on the military will appoint. but it was a signal of the importance in which washington helped that relationship, and this should be noted that under the eisenhower administration, one of the largest aid project was begun in the 1950's. what this was was a series of dance which were constructed in the home in valley based of the tennessee valley. a story of the unintended consequences. using the tennessee valley authority as their model, american engineers about what it would do is jan
