Who was President when you were born?

[CubsFan1982]

We haven't done this in a while, so let's check in and see which President comes out on top! :D I was born during the dark Reagan years. *shudder* Reagan will be the cutoff point, anyone born after January 20, 1989, please specify!

[Sannum]

1. William Henry Harrison

No. I am kidding. I was born during the heinous Reagan years as well. Ick.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

2. Carter n/t

[Left Is Write]

3. LBJ.

[flamingyouth]

4. LBJ, but Nixon had just been elected a month earlier.

[deadparrot]

5. Raygun.

Near the end, but Raygun nonetheless.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Roosevelt!

So far, only 3 of us respondents were born in that time frame! Makin' me feel old, sonny!

[MoJoWorkin]

9. add me to the creaky bones list

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Hi, MoJoWorkin,

Thanks for joining ranks with me! Not too many folks in our age group here on DU!

[Seabiscuit]

40. I'm creakin' close - born just after Roosevelt died.

7. Reagan

[Parrcrow]

8. Kennedy n/t

[Liberalynn]

[Semi_subversive]

10. Ike

[Rowdyboy]

12. 10 days after I was born, 4 Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire in the

House of Representatives, wounding 5 congressmen (3/1/1954). A week later, Edward R Morrow attacked Sen Joe McCarthy and the nightmare of "McCarthyism" started to fade. And, when I was three months old, the Supreme Court said "seperate but equal" was illegal (Brown v Board of Education). In November of that year, President Eisenhower began direct military aid to the government of South Viet Nam.

1954 was a pretty interesting year.

[DeaconBlues]

13. Nixon

it makes me so proud!

[DrDebug]

22. Yes, we've gone full circle

Lucky I can't remember Nixon. So those memories were surpressed. Let's hope these 8 (sic!) years will be the same.

[tjwmason]

14. Jimmy Carter

and Maggie Thatcher was British P.M. (by nearly 4 months).

I grew up on the footage of Thatcher-Reagan, and when I was young came to the (not totally unreasonable) conclusion that Prime Minister was the feminine form of President.

[Lauri16]

15. LBJ

1965

[maveric]

16. Ike. 1956

[Az_lefty]

17. Dwight D. but Kennedy's the first I really remember.

23. Why are the boomers at home on a computer on a Friday night?

I know why. Dammit.

[yellowdogintexas]

24. Truman!!!!!

and my good old yellowdog mom never quite forgave me for the fact that she was in the hospital on election day in 1948 and did not get to vote for him

[GCP]

34. Me too

Boomer from 1948 :hi:

[Aristus]

25. LBJ, 1968.

Better than Nixon, though.

[CubsFan1982]

Eisenhower usually comes out on top in these kinds of polls, and he does it again. :D

28. Baby Boomers Rock !

31. Dwight D Eisenhower

But I didn't like Ike.

[Taxloss]

32. I was a Tory grudgematch boy.

Born under Jimmy Carter, or Jim Callaghan as it was for us (1978), so my first year was the last year of Labour rule. Then, 18 years later, my first vote was for Labour, one of the avalanche that ended Tory rule.
