Question

What were some of the issues that Eisenhower was faced with?

Answer 1

Time travel was new, and plutonium was expensive. Young Dwight had himself in a pickle indeed, but if he were to get back to the year 2010, he would need all the plutonium he could get. He googled loans and found a great one with a low interest rate. He bought some plutonium off some guys at a seven-eleven in central jersey and returned to the lab to get on his way, only to find that the time travel machine was gone! What happens next...

Answer 2

McCarthyism, the Civil Rights Movement, Yellow Peril and Rock and Roll were major issues of the time.
