Semi-protection

This article of late has been getting a lot of vandalism and I believe should be changed to semi-protected at least for six months. Kierzek (talk) 13:38, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to semi-protected for now, due to the recent amount of vandalism; this for a trial period of time. Kierzek (talk) 02:20, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, apparently I did not set it correctly as the vandalism has continued. Maybe another can fix it. Kierzek (talk) 18:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bonus Army

There should be some mention of Eisenhower's role is suppressing the Bonus Army. 46.116.170.251 (talk) 19:25, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Chance for Peace speech is erroneously cited.

Under the Legacy section, the quote, "Every gun that is made, every warship launched..." is wrongly cited (and linked) as having come from his Farewell Speech given in 1961. The quote actually comes from The Chance for Peace speech Eisenhower gave to the American Society of Newspaper Editors on April 16, 1963. http://www.eisenhowermemorial.org/speeches/19530416%20Chance%20for%20Peace.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.146.70.57 (talk) 01:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Fixed, thanks. --Banana (talk) 19:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Racial slur against Eisenhower

Is it true that Elizabeth Dilling called Eisenhower "Ike the kike," and if so, what was her reason/motivation for doing so... is there a Jewish ancestor in his family tree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.24.105.33 (talk) 23:43, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

==POV== I suggest removal of the quote his biggest foreign policy mistake was not supporting UK and France. The ref is a new paper article and I can find not statement anywhere other then a BBC article. Please provide a second source. Jacob805
