"'When I heard about Eisenhower's presidential accomplishments—holding down the national debt, keeping inflation in check, and fighting for balanced budgets—it hit me that we'd clearly gotten their names mixed up at some point,' Priebus told reporters. 'I couldn't believe we'd been associating terms like "visionary," "principled," and "bold" with President Reagan. That wasn't him at all—that was Ike.'"
From The Onion.
And David A. Nichols in the Los Angeles Times compares Eisenhower's policies in the Middle East to Reagan's.
