Eisenhower is rarely described as a great president but perhaps he should be given higher marks. Historians tend to reserve the greatness label for presidents who either served during extremely difficult times or else made major decisions that coincide with the political view of the historian. Perhaps due to his leadership, not very many big crises arose in the eight years that Ike was in charge. He ended the Korean War and did not start any new wars. He was widely respected in Europe because of his service in WW II. There were no great depressions and not many riots, not much student unrest and few violent strikes while he was president.
He did stand up to Faubus in Arkansas and integrate the schools in Little Rock.
He had a great smile and was generally popular. He had proven his ability to work with opposing egos when he got the British and Russian generals to pull together to defeat Germany and so he knew both how to make decisions and how to "sell" his decisions to those who had to carry them out.
