Topic: Who was president when you were born?

[Rocker]

Seems like an interesting enough poll. 

[nickjtc]

There are times when I feel like I am old enough to have been around in Washington's time!!

PS. Eisenhower

[heffay]

BUT, who's the first president you actually remember? 

Reagan for me.

Kennedy. Especially when they had the 'news flash' (one of the first on English TV) to tell us that he had been shot. I was 8. My dad was in a state of shock, walking around the house saying "But, but, but, he's the President of the United States....."

we don't have a president, but the lady in charge here sure thinks she is

[Bob Wessner]

Come on, fess up, there must be another Roosevelt baby here. I don't remember him, being a wee lad and all, but...

You're leaving yourself wide open for a Teddy Roosevelt shot there, Bob.

        Sorry Bob, you're a little older than me. Harry Truman was President when I was born. First one I remember though was Dwight D. Eisenhower. I was in the 10th grade when John Kennedy was killed and I'll never forget that day. I was in my Mechanical Drawing class when we were told. I just couldn't believe it. Then, right there on TV, we saw Jack Ruby shoot and kill Lee Harvey Oswald. Couldn't believe that one either. Bob, looks like, if I was a couple of years older, we'd be in the same group.

        I think the first Prime Minister of England, that I remember hearing of, was McMillan (hope I remembered and spelled that right). I was in the 7th grade.

who was prez in December 1977?

Pretty sure it was Carter. I was hatched in 79 and I believe it was "I'm not a crook".

          "I'm not a crook" refers to Nixon though.

Wasn't by much Bill. I think I was 17 months old or something when Roosevelt died.

Thanks Bill, goes to show how much I know. There all crooks if you ask me..

Eisenhower. I remember when he was elected and he was a great President and post war was a very difficult time.

However our generation, almost to a one, have problems with showers (Psycho) and we all remember where we were and what we were doing the day that JFK was assassinated. I was home sick from High School with a terrible cold.

We are Kennedy's (not the ones with the money and the great hair) and my 12 yr old brother, John, was in elementary school that day when the principal announced over the intercom that they had just been notified that John Kennedy had been shot dead. Children and  teachers, all over the school were in tears, some crying uncontrollably. Finally, the teacher from his class went down to the office to find out what was going on - John Kennedy was in class and in perfect health!! Very quickly the announcement was clarified.

            For the most part, they pretty much are!   I figure that, even if a person is pretty good when they go into politics, something happens and, Boom!, They're crooked! Oh Well, life goes on.
So Far!

The correct term for the office Bill is 'Prime Minister of the United Kingdon of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'

Edward Heath was in office when I was born, I don't have a clue who was President (Dec 1970)

The first PM and president I remember are Callaghan and Carter

       Hey CrisP,
              Cool to learn a bit about history, now that I'm not in school! Thanks for that bit.

No problem Bill

It's always a joy to find a Yank who's even aware that a world exists outside his State's borders, let alone prepared to learn about it

[tmart]
