Ike Takes a Bow and Makes High Schoolers Roll Their Eyes for Decades to Come
- Ike starts to wrap it up by thanking the American people and hoping they've found his efforts satisfactory.
- He humbly suggests that where he's failed, others will find a better way.
- Now comes Ike's final torrent of idealistic rhetoric: May all countries, with the help of God, get to the promised land; May America stay true to its highest aims; may all people everywhere get the basic necessities of life, opportunity, freedom, etc.; may those with freedom wield its power justly; may all unnecessary evils be vanquished; may all of humanity one day live in peace and love.
- Ike tells us that on Friday at 12:00 noon, he's done being president. He's pretty happy about it.
- He signs off with another thank you and a final good night.
- Ike OUT.
