No, he was a very good President. The economy was fairly stable and a quite period of growth was predominant during his administration.
Almost 50 years after he left office in January, 1961, Eisenhower's stock has risen in the eyes of historians. For instance, a 2010 Siena College poll of 238 Presidential scholars ranked the 34th president 10th out of 43 chief executives.
Eisenhower generally receives high marks for ushering the United States through a period of relative peace and prosperity in the 1950s. He continued most of the existing "New Deal" and "Fair Deal" policies established by his Democratic predecessors, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, respectively.
He also created the interstate highway system, which made it convenient for Americans to travel long distances by car.
Despite his tendency not to speak out on civil rights issues, Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957 to enforce school desegregation.
Eisenhower also struck a chord with his televised farewell address on January 17, 1961, in which he warned against the rise and influence of the military-industrial complex.
2nd Answer:
All true . . . Eisenhower created the interstate highway system so that in case of war on American ground, there would be many routes for shipping, the lack of which was one of Germany's downfalls in World War II.
It is noteworthy that the overpasses on the interstate highway system were required to be tall enough so that a guided missile could be transported under them. (16 foot minimum)

What US president ended the Korean war?
Harry S. TrumanI don't think this is correct, the war ended in a stalemate months after Truman was no longer president. By this time the soviets also had nuclear weapons and they backed North Korea so the use of an atomic weapon would have been reckless to say the least. i think you are confused with the 2nd world war in which atom bombs were used by Truman to punish the Japanese.Editor's Note: President Eisenhower is the correct President for this answer.According to one author of Wikipedia, under the heading of Dwight D. Eisenhower: "As President, Eisenhower threatened to use nuclear weapons, forcing China to agree to a cease-fire of the Korean War. He maintained pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, gave priority to inexpensive nuclear weapons and reduced the other forces to save money."I could not have said it any better than that author so I had to quote him. (I think it was Graham87 but I am uncertain it was him for certain.)

President Dwight David Eisenhower did. He was the 34th president of the United States. I do not think he got much notice for it, as JFK did more missions with the program.

I think your questions is: What was Dwight D. Eisenhower's job before he was President? Dwight D. Eisenhower was a General in the U.S. Army at the start of World War II, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. Eisenhower became the American Army leader in the European theater during that war. He led the ground troops in Europe against the Germans.
