I also limited that statement to contolling the Nukes. I don't doubt Ike could handle thing properly. I have read his biography and much on him. I work 4 blocks from the D D Eisenhower Center (behind the D-Day museum). I'm just concerned that someone who has an affair in office is controlling nuclear weapons. Until Bush has one, I'll be less concerned about his judgement.

That should read ACTION, his affair in office. Beyond that, I can't point to anything else he did that I consider questionable.
