I was a year later but before the October Crisis.

As far as Presidnts go, it was Nixon. In fact, my birthday was the day the laid charges in regards to the Mai Lay (sp?) massacre.

That makes two of us!

JFK was in office. I was one year and nine months old when he was assasinated.

The first President I have a true recollection of was Nixon.

I was born during the Carter administration (1976), but the first political event I can remember is the Iran-Contra hearings.

I was born in '77 and had to look up which President that was because I wasn't sure. Whoops! My dad, the retired U.S. History teacher will be so proud! :( The first President I remember is Reagan, which makes sense because he was President during the majority of my childhood.

:stillheart:

Harry S. Truman

no way. If I tell who was president, then I will get called out when I turn 29 again on my next birthday!!!

:)

LBJ was president.

On my date of birth, Solicitor General Thurgood Marshall was nominated as the first African American justice of the United States Supreme Court.

The first political thing i remember is right after Jimmy Carter was elected president, my father took my brother & me to Plains, Ga. We "toured" the town, took pictures of each other on the steps of Carter's church, saw his brother Billy at the gas station where we stopped to buy roasted peanuts and "Billy Beer".

:hippie:

Eisenhower was in office the year I was born.

LBJ
Although the first president I remember was Ford because he drove through my home town and we went to see him drive by (there was also a parade)

'64
 

my mother found out she was pregnant the day JFK was shot.

i was born the following July while LBJ was the president. i vaguely remember Robert and Martin being shot, and we moved to GB when i was 5. I do remember the Nixon years, and we moved back to the states in '74 around the time Ford took over.
Jimmy Carter was a big departure from the previous regime, and i remember there was real hope for the economy, then came Ronnie. i still remember all the hoopla about the hostages being released right after Reagan was elected. What a set up. Then the Iran contra business with North. Americans have very short attention spans and even shorter memories.
i pretty much stayed out of touch with politics as a result for many years. Then in 92 i drove all the way back to Chicago right after i moved to Nashville to help elect Clinton. good old Slick Willie managed to not only balance the budget but actually have money left over. Of course the big business and republicans didn't like that so........
We all know that Money runs this country and even more so now that a Company can throw it's entire weight and profit to buy an office.

I just hope the tea baggers keep spewing their BS. give em enough rope............

The Past + Future Present.
 

Jimmy Carter was president.

Eisenhower....

I remember the day JFK was assasinated... it is one of my earliest memories... and certainly the earliest political event I remember...
