Cell phones, televisions, computers, tablets and variety of other devices are being used by well over a billion people throughout the world to communicate with each other. This communication has become instrumental in making certain we are all successful in our daily lives. One such method that has been adopted by millions at all age levels is the site we all know as Facebook. The widely popular ´Facebookµ is being used by teenagers to keep in touch with their friends and to find out everything from who is dating who, to when the next history exam is scheduled. Adults (who enjoy the social aspects as well) have discovered that the site can be useful for a wide variety of other purposes that can benefit their families and them. For example, Rock bands advertise where they are playing and communicate with their fans. Internet businesses communicate with their clients and doctors have found the site useful and have developed ways of communicating with other doctors and even their patients. Some teachers have even made the site the primary way of communicating lessons to students. However, for our purposes we are going to reach back in time to ask the question, ´+RZZRXOGLQGLYLGXDOVLQKLVWRU\KDYHXVHG)DFHERRNWRFRPPXQLFDWHLQ their ZRUOG"µ,PDJLQHLI-RKQ) KHQQHG\KDG´)DFHERRNHGµ1LNLtta Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis?

These are all questions we will never know the answer to, but it does not mean we are not going to try! So sit back and get warmed up as we enter the unknown world of a little project we like to call;; What if they had a Facebook?

Hi Mr. President, I was wondering if I would be getting your support in the Republican Party in the up-coming election. I think your endorsement would be instrumental in helping gain the nomination but most importantly your popularity with the American people would definitely give me a boost in the polls. What do you think? Oh by the way great golf game the other day with Bobby Jones. Hard to believe you playHGWKDWZHOOZLWKDSUR«,NQHZ\RXFRXOGGRLW
Hi Dick, As you know I have not had a lot of confidence in you throughout my presidency. I will support your candidacy but mostly because you are a Republican and not because I have any confidence that you can continue successfully in my shoes.

Philosophy On $PHULFD¶V3DWK7RThe Future
Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose. Because this need is so sharp and apparent I confess that I lay down my official responsibilities in this field with a definite sense of disappointment. As one who has witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war ² as one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years ² I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight. Happily, I can say that war has been avoided. Steady progress toward our ultimate goal has been made. But, so much remains to be done. As a private citizen, I shall never cease to do what little I can to help the world advance along that road. So ² in this my last good night to you as your President ² I thank you for the many opportunities you have given me for public service in war and peace. You and I ² my fellow citizens ² need to be strong in our faith that all nations, under God, will reach the goal of peace with justice. May we be ever unswerving in devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the Nations' great goals. To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America's prayerful and continuing aspiration: We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied;; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full;; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings;; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities;; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity;; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love. Now, on Friday noon, I am to become a private citizen. I am proud to do so. I look forward to it. Thank you, and good night.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
