Dwight Eisenhower: White House
built 635 days ago
Eisenhower was 2 years old when the family moved to Abilene, Kansas. Although his father never made more than $1,500 a year, he managed to save enough to buy a small house and a 10-acre (4-hectare) farm. The five Eisenhower boys worked the farm and raised almost all the food for the family. They had virtually no money, but they ate well. The boys went to the local school, where Dwight was nicknamed "Ike."

For his part, Eisenhower liked neither ER's politics nor her style. In the wake of his 1952, election he accepted her resignation from the U.S. delegation to the United Nations with only a perfunctory letter of thanks, despite her significant contributions to the organization's success. He ... barred her from White House social events because of remarks she had purportedly made about his wife, Mamie. The two were never reconciled although Eisenhower did attend ER's funeral in 1962.

Although initially enthusiastic about his position, Eisenhower soon became disenchanted. The custard pies that the Americans were using at the front were vastly inferior to the more aerodynamic strudels that the German soldiers were throwing, leading to a great number of Americans being forced to stop in their tracks, blink, and wipe the pastry from one eye. Eisenhower brought this matter to the army brass, who laughed off his suggestions, pointing out that the American pie was still a far more humiliating weapon than the pear tarts being used by the French or the buckets of whitewash being employed by the Royal British Music Hall Brigade.

Apparently, there was a question of Eisenhower's racial lineage and this was brought to Eisenhower's attention by the headmaster. When asked if he was part Oriental, Eisenhower replied in the negative. After some discussion, Eisenhower admitted having Jewish background. The headmaster then reportedly said, "That's where you get your Oriental blood?" Although he was allowed to remain at the academy, word got around since this was a time in history when non-Whites were not allowed into the academy. Note - The issue of Eisenhower's little-known Jewish background in academically essential in understanding his psychopathic hatred of German men, women and children.
