Jimmy Carter.


I have no recollection of this, of course, but I remember his successor well. Many of my childhood memories involve my extremely liberal parents and their friends discussing Reagan.

I also went to school with two boys who had AIDS during the time of Ryan White. Both of them died in the early nineties and I always wonder if their lives would have been healthier and prolonged had the political climate been different. HIV and AIDS were reduced to a moral issue rather than a medical one and so many lives were lost because of it.

Johnson.

Medicare is 9 days older than me. I am the same age as "Miranda v. Arizona". I am a year older than the Super Bowl.

I remember watching Vietnam and the lunar landing on TV. Nixon and Watergate are some of the first political things I remember. Mondale was the first presidential candidate I voted for.

LOL!!!!! You are soooooo funny.

I was born during Nixon's swan song....

It was a pretty dire time in the United States and the rest of the world....the oil embargo; wars and the preludes to wars we are still fighting in the Middle East in an attempt to control oil; deepest darkest cold war and recession and rationing. (& some truly bad fashion).

The socio-political and economic climate when I was born certainly influenced how I was raised and how we lived our lives. In many ways I'm grateful that the economic circumstances meant my mother and I lived with my grandparents and that we were part of a close/supportive extended family; I benefited from that in ways my siblings (who were born later) did not.

So was that his first or his second term? And how did you like Ulysses S Grant growing up?

I remember he resigned in August of 74. I was in Job Corp and my roomies hated me for insisting we watch it on the old broken down black and white T.V.

Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon Johnson. I was born just a little over two months after Kennedy was killed.

1968---Lyndon B Johnson

It just occurred to me if Dwight Eisenhower was the president when I was born, Nixon was the Vice President at the time. Do any of you remember Nixion's first Vice President when he was prez? Agnew. Another name in history that was forced to resign. Gerald Ford was his second Vice President while Nixion served as the President.

Eisenhower

Jimmy Carter.

I was born at the height of the Johnson administration, just about six weeks after the Apollo 1 crew died in a fire on the launchpad during a routine test. The first President I remember is Nixon because of the Watergate hearings. I actually named the dog Tip after Tip O'Neil. The first President I voted for was Bush the Elder and the only Republican I've ever voted for at the national level.

JFK was prez
