"If so, why did Kruschev not take these actions while Eisenhower was president?"

Because:

1. The missiles weren't IN Turkey and Italy until late in Eisenhower's term. It takes a little time to plan and set up missiles in Cuba, Dave.

2. The Bay of Pigs wasn't launched until KENNEDY was president. I'm sure Ike thought anti-commie Dick Nixon would be president and would support the Cuban ex-pats.

I'm sorry the FACTS don't confirm your deeply held extreme right wingnut cherished historical fables. Sometimes the TRUTH is HARD, Dave.
