The most famous Eisenhowerism was not even uttered by Eisenhower himself. It is an Eisenhowerized version of the Gettysburg Address, composed by a reporter named Oliver Jenson: "I haven't checked these figures, but eighty-seven years ago, I think it was, a number of individuals organized a governmental setup here in this country, I believe it covered certain eastern areas, with this idea they were following up, based on a sort of national independence arrangement...," and so on.
