Why I'm Backing Obama
By Susan Eisenhower
Saturday, February 2, 2008; A15
Forty-seven years ago, my grandfather Dwight D. Eisenhower bid
farewell to a nation he had served for more than five decades. In his
televised address, Ike famously coined the term "military-industrial
complex," and he offered advice that is still relevant today. "As we
peer into society's future," he said, we "must avoid the impulse to
live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the
precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets
of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political
and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all
generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow."
