Eisenhower's greatest strength as a General was his ability to get all the other big leaders of the western allies to form a consensus. Through his efforts, Presidents, Prime Ministers and Generals were able to get together to plan and carry out the great tasks necessary to win the war. Eisenhower was confronted with major Cold War crises every year he was in office: Korea, Vietnam, Formosa, Suez, Hungary, Berlin, and the U-2. While more than once America seemed on the brink of war and those around him clamored to drop the Bomb, Eisenhower always kept a level head. He dealt calmly and rationally with each situation, always finding a solution that avoided war without diminishing America's prestige.

In his speech, Obama makes several intersexual references to inspirational orators of the past. One such example is Martin Luther King, the road ahead will be long...we will get there where Obama creates the sense that it will be a tough, arduous journey ahead of America in undoing the damage done by past leadership.
The fact is that every president that has been elected since John F. Kennedy has been associated to these groups and votes in favor to help these groups stay in power. The presidential position has turned into a puppet position. Most ideas of how to help this country and world directly stem from the Wall Street executives themselves. What was once hidden from the public to prevent backlash, is being openly shown to the public now. By this I mean a new world order.
