Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"You cannot stand aside and see America's interest deteriorate throughout the world just by inaction."

"I said that of course none of us would like to see the need for a special session of Congress."

"However, as you people well know, I don't think that any of you ought to interpret anything I say in terms of a threat of any kind."

"I think, ladies and gentlemen, that this is the first time I have asked you into an impromptu press conference."
