Who was president when you were born.

[maveric]

Poll question: Who was president when you were born.

I'll start with Reagan as the most recent. Is anyone here born before 1989? If so, you have my apologies.

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. Reagan.

*sigh*


:puke:

[last_texas_dem]

75. I'm another Reagan baby (born in '83)

Luckily, I was too young during most of it to remember much of his Presidency!

[Counciltucky]

96. Reagan here too ... conceived in the Carter Administration.

Carter was a lame duck, then, though. And I wasn't born then, so I don't remember it. I was born six months to the day after Reagan was shot.

[Rush1184]

119. Born as Regan was re-elected....

Though I was supposed to be born on Halloween in 1984, but I ended up being born on election day... Though my mom is glad I was not born on Halloween, I don't know if his re-election date is that much of a better alternative... :evilgrin: :D

[Left Is Write]

139. And on that date, I was voting in my very first election.

[dhinojosa]

2. I recommended this poll as a "greatest" because its interesting.

[JohnKleeb]

3. Reagan

[Kathy in Cambridge]

4. LBJ

[Fenris]

5. The girl from "The Exorcist"

Reagan

[name not needed]

6. Reagan

[Stop_the_War]

7. Reagan

[ralps]

8. Ike

:sigh::hi: ya'll

[maveric]

9. Ike for me too. 1956

[alwynsw]

26. Also from the "class of '56"

Go Boomers!

[Wapsie B]

48. 56er here!

Ike Ike Ike! Jeezus, to have that guy in the WH instead of pretzlehead. And a genuine two party system in this country.

[Melynn]

106. I'm 56er too.

Ike seems like a liberal to what we have in the White House now. I don't remember Ike being President though, the first President I remember is Kennedy.

I think Kennedy was a great President. Too bad the fascists kill him. The country hasn't been the same since.

[Richardo]

158. 1956 here too

:thumbsup:

[AuntiBush]

117. Me, too!

Go Boomers, is right! Now we gotta work on Saving our Security... Social Security that is! :hi: fellow 56'ers!

[NoPasaran]

170. Another 56er!

[mr_hat]

72. Me too. A republican from a time gone by.

[proud2BlibKansan]

104. Me too

1953

[sazemisery]

124. 1956

WoooooHoooo! Lot of us '56rs.

[SW FL Dem]

130. Same here - 1958

I don't feel old, but I am almost 50 :)

[Ilsa]

159. 1958 for me.

I have a vague recollection of Ike when I was toddler, but it is associated with being at the grandparents' house and hearing them fight over politics. I have no recollection of hearing his name when I was home with my fmaily of origin.

[Az_lefty]

173. Ike here too. Class of 54'

:toast:

[Undercover Owl]

10. Actually, I was too young to remember.

Late 1970, was that Nixon or Ford?

[JohnKleeb]

14. Thats Nixon

[Undercover Owl]

188. Thanks.

I heard that the song "American Woman" was very popular during my birth date, November 1970.
(People had to tell me that later, since I didn't actually remember hearing it at the time.)

[RoeBear]

65. Do you mean late in the year of

1970, as in Nov of 1970 or were you saying the late 70's like in 1978?

[Sporadicus]

11. Eisenhower

I turned six as his second term came to an end, but I recall the televised debate between JFK & Nixon, thinking even at that age that Tricky Dick looked evil.

[B Calm]

110. Eisenhower was the first US President to send troops to Vietnam

[jjmalonejr]

12. Nixon.

Ugh.

Actually, I was born when Nixon was President-elect, so I suppose the real answer is LBJ, isn't it.

I guess, to be precise, I'm on the Johnson/Nixon cusp.

[despairing optimist]

13. You might want to add Coolidge and Harding

There are a few seniors among us who go back before Hoover, I'll bet.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

122. My grandmother was born when Woodrow Wilson was prez.

Of course, she doesn't go online, so it doesn't really matter.

I was born when Jimmy Carter was president and so was my husband. My son was born during Bush Jr.'s first term.

[mitchtv]

15. when did FDR die?

[JohnKleeb]

16. April 12, 1945

[mitchtv]

54. fdr, then

an extra bunch of ration coupons for the household!

[Fenris]

17. Early 1945

[Allenberg]

18. Reagan had been in office for roughly 6 months when I was born.

[Freebird12004]

19. Truman

[CO Liberal]

29. Me, Too

I was born Nov 28, 1952. Ike had been elected three weeks earlier, but Truman was still in office.

[Freebird12004]

32. I'm still older

August 24,1948 was a good day to join the earth's population

[yellowdogintexas]

40. Oct 27, 1948 ...my mom did not get to vote for Truman because

she was still in the hospital with me. I am not sure she ever forgave me for that either!!!!!

[Freebird12004]

43. she loved ya

sure she forgave ya !!! If Truman had lost .... well ... he didn't so we won't think about it like that.

[yellowdogintexas]

73. right! she made sure I was a good Democrat ...it did not take so

well with my sisters, but she sure impressed it on me.

[Freebird12004]

82. there's still hope

for your sisters. Never give up fighting the good fight....peacefully.

[minerva50]

172. My mom voted for Truman before she went into labor

with my older brother. She and Dad listened to the election returns that night long, and were delighted with a new son and a new president by the morning. It's one of her favorite family stories.

I was born 16 months later in 1950.

[lumberingbear]

90. No, I'm still older

6/11/47

[Freebird12004]

178. hey old timer !

:toast:

[autorank]

125. Truman as in TRUE MAN as in shit-kickin, name takin DEMOCRAT

It was a hot summer day in July and our hero, Harry Truman was just beginning what was described as a hopeless campaign. Out in the West, three stars appeared over Sacramento, CA just as a male child was born. His first words were "Truman wins, no doubt about it." This poorly recorded folk tale is actually true and the rumors it started helped Trueman get the Southern and religious vote and ultimately crush the elitist Dewey and his plutocratic supporters on Wall Street.

I am that male child!

[mcscajun]

50. Class of 1951 here

Born in mid-November of that year. :)

[Freebird12004]

177. hello mcscajun

:hi:

[tjwmason]

20. Carter but over here

The Prime Minister was Margaret Thatcher.

Looking down the list of Reaganites is making me feel very old (he was sworn in when I was about 17 months old).

[humanriteswritlarge]

21. FDR

I can remember listening to the news reports of the invasion of Normandy on the radio with my parents.

[tjwmason]

37. Neither of my parents were around then

B.T.W. Welcome to D.U. :hi:

[burrowowl]

129. WELCOME TO DU, humanritlarge!

Wonder if there is anybody born before Hoover!

[alwynsw]

46. Child!

Old? Ike was in his first term when I was born. I've noticed a number of FDR's and Trumans as well.

Heck, I'm feeling younger all the time.

[tjwmason]

49. You don't know how happy that makes me feel

I'm a true Peter Pan.

:bounce:

[seventythree]

94. I messed up and can't change my vote

Ike was the first President I remember, so didn't even think when I voted Ike -- but I was born under Truman.

[elshiva]

22. Reagan.

Yuck.

[madrchsod]

23. dam- there are old folks here today

[JohnKleeb]

25. Ya, Ya

[jdots]

38. back off youngin or we will drool on you.

we'll hit you with our canes......

[alwynsw]

55. Care to join me in a tall, icy Geritol before we kick this youngun's ass?

[MarianJack]

162. And If He's Not Careful,...

...our Depends, too!

[all.of.me]

66. dam - there are youngsters here today!

[Stop_the_War]

24. Abraham Lincoln

WOW I'M OLD
:silly:

[Stop_the_War]

27. George Washington

[Longgrain]

28. Another Nixon baby here...

<eom>

[no name no slogan]

120. Me too

Born just into his 8th month in office. During Woodstock, in fact (but not there, unfortunately).

[livinginphotographs]

30. Carter.

For about six months.

[maveric]

31. So far" Boomers" make up about 33% of DUer in this poll.

Those being the Truman and Ike births.

[Longgrain]

33. I actually find that interesting...

Since I thought most DUers were college students...

Nice to see we have a nice diversity of age around here...

[seventythree]

95. Boomers check out the boomer forum

[CottonBear]

161. The Baby Boom continued into '63 and JFK.

I'm a JFK baby.

I wonder who the Hoover baby is?

[Stop_the_War]

34. Hey put George Washington on that list

:silly:

[ulysses]

35. Johnson.

Lame duck, though - December 1968.

[jjmalonejr]

80. Me, too.

We're on the Johnson/Nixon cusp.

[Reverend_Smitty]

36. Another Reagan child here

n/t

[0007]

39. FDR - 1933

[maveric]

44. You and my Mom both.

She remembers FDR as being president for the 1st 12 years of her life.

[0007]

102. Your mother and I probably have much in common, with the

depression and world war II. Of the many things I remember was that Sunday when Japan bombed Pear Harbor in 1941 and the other was when President Roosevelt died in 1945.

[Magrittes Pipe]

41. Gerald Rudolph Ford.

[jjmalonejr]

42. It's amazing how few Nixon votes there are...

...given that he served two terms (almost).

Does that say something about the demographics of DU? There seems to be a gap among people born in the late '60s through the '70's.

[nickinSTL]

160. I was thinking that, too

Me, 1972. I guess he'd just been reelected when I was born.

[BayouWoman]

45. Kennedy

July 1963

Tail end of the boomers--though I feel comfortable with Gen X too.

Politically I'm defintiely a boomer. Culturally I'm both.

It's this generation that befuddles me--music, lack of politics, etc. I know some young people are involved--like the ones here--but most seem to care more about music and video games and reality TV.

It seems that when I was their age I was much more aware of politics. And cared more.

[skygazer]

47. JFK - January of 1961

And I could swear I remember his assassination though I'm sure it's just a case of me growing up hearing about it. Still, I can almost see myself seated on the floor in front of our black and white watching the news coverage.

[K8-EEE]

69. Jan 1960 Here!

It's the Bobby Kennedy assasination that is the first news event that rocked my world....first time I ever saw my dad cry.

[alwynsw]

78. We were let out of school early because of the assination.

Our school janitor and principal went to the janitor's house and lugged a console TV to the gym for us to watch Uncle Walt give the bad news while we were waiting for the busses.

You have no idea how many extra nuclear war drills we went through following that day.

[nutsnberries]

91. January 1962... and...

because of an appointment I had, my mom was holding me outside of Boston Children's Hospital when President Kennedy raced in to see his son Patrick - August 1963. She says she made sure I looked at him. She loved President Kennedy and was so sad to hear later that the baby died.

November 22, 1963 she says I was playing near the television and she was nearby doing some mending when Kennedy was shot... my siblings were let out of school, my dad came home... you can imagine how the rest goes. :(

[Orsino]

105. JFK ('62)

When relatives heard I was named John, one of them telegrammed "Congratulations on little Jack's arrival." That's a family of Democrats, baby.

[Pool Hall Ace]

154. Actually, you could

I was talking to a co-worker once who was born November 1960 (shares his birthday with JFK Jr!), and he remembers the assassination. I expressed surprise, but he said yeah, that's about when kids start to be able to recall events.

That his father worked in the Kennedy administration also probably helped.

[Blue_In_AK]

51. I was born in '46, and I do remember Truman well... n/t

[Ronnie]

52. FDR

My first political memory is my mother crying all day when FDR died. Later, after my parents became Republicans, she denied it. But I remember it, because it scared me silly.

[dolo amber]

53. Grover Cleveland

[maveric]

57. The 22nd or 24th Cleveland?

[dolo amber]

89. Both...it was a very long labor

:cry:

[JVS]

114. at least there was a 4 year break

[burrowowl]

131. Wow!

Anybody before Cleveland here? And who is typing for them?

[Rush1184]

56. I was born on the day Regan was re-elected...

Nov 2nd, 1984. I was supposed to be born on halloween, looking back, I am not really sure which would have been a worse date to be born on...

[rockedthevoteinMA]

58. Carter. n/t (1978)

[AFSCME girl]

59. JFK was just

beginning his third year in office when I was born..*sigh*

[whistle]

60. Wow, the age pyramid of DU

...come-on let's kick this thread around to get as many DUers as possible to answer!!!

:kick: :bounce: :toast: :hi: :headbang: :yourock: :grouphug: :loveya: :pals: :hug: :beer: :hurts: :nopity: O8) :evilgrin:

[eowyn_of_rohan]

167. This age pyramid is amazing to me!

I thought most people here were younger than I am, but au contraire! Boomers Rock! Boomer power! Makes me feel younger! :grouphug:

[GOPBasher]

61. Carter.

[all.of.me]

62. ike, jan 1954

[KC21304]

63. FDR. 1943, so I was too young to know about him.

I have been kicking myself for 44 years because in l960 I passed up a chance to help help wait tables for a Kennedy appearance at my high school. Guess I was more interested in the local boys at 17.

[maveric]

64. Boomers at 36%.

[hootinholler]

67. Ike was the lame duck when I was born.

Dec 27, 1960. I don't remember JFK assasination, but I remember Bobby's Clearly. Went in the Navy with Carter and came out under RayGun. Carter got my first presidential vote (2nd election).

There could be a couple of Clinton borns here, but I doubt it, they would be young 12-ish (I suck at arithmetic)

There could definately be some Bush the elders born here.

-Hoot

[Cush]

68. Carter (1977)

[Deja Q]

70. Trickie Dickie; how'd Nixon get that name?

Man, I'm sure glad Clinton's first name wasn't Richard... :scared:

[T Town Jake]

111. Helen Gahagan Douglas was the first to refer to Nixon...

...as "Tricky Dick" when the two squared off against each other during the 1950 California Senatorial campaign.

The name stuck, for obvious reasons.

[xmas74]

71. Ford. Nixon had left just a few months before.

[Lady Freedom]

74. Carter

at the back end of his administration

[Bullwinkle925]

76. OUCH!! one of these years someone will be saying the same about your

generation - believe me - it will be here sooner than you think!

[Radical Activist]

77. Carter

I'm so happy I was born during a Democratic administration. Being born during Reagan's term would be embarrassing.

[Zuni]

79. Jimmuh Carter

[bigwillq]

81. Carter

Born in 1978!

[CindyDale]

83. Yep, that's why they called it the Boom

and in the 80s the Boomlet.

[Lautremont]

84. Nixon, I believe. When was he elected? Oh yeah, '68.

I was born two years later. I wonder, are there any Bush I babies on DU? Or is that simply too young to be political?

[JohnKleeb]

87. No there are some

look below ya.

[CubsFan1982]

85. Reagan.

1982 - as if it weren't obvious already.

[loro mi dicevano]

86. H.W. Bush, here, halfway through his term. I feel terribly bad for those

kids born during Dubya's first term - I, at least, had a taste of what America is like under a decent president during the Clinton years.

[JohnKleeb]

88. Damn dude

[Left Is Write]

140. My kids were born under Reagan, Clinton, and Shrubbie.

[RetroLounge]

92. JFK!

RL

[Huckebein the Raven]

93. Jimmy Carter

[A HERETIC I AM]

97. 1959. last of the 50's kids

Makes it Ike by about 8 or 9 months

[Withywindle]

98. "I AM NOT A CROOK!"

Oh yes he was!


Me: early in Nixon's first term, summer of '69.

There actually are fewer of us Gen-X'ers, demographically; that might be reflected in the numbers here.

[Hello_Kitty]

99. LBJ - And remember it's not the year of the election that counts

It's the year he actually took office. I was born in '68 and LBJ was President that entire year. Nixon took office in '69.

[Hobarticus]

100. Nixon, but I find all the Ike and pre-Ike votes intriguing...

Quite a diverse demography here!

[annabanana]

107. The GI's came home

all horny and ready to start "normal" lives, with wives and kids and all that...The "pig in the python" 1948 - 1951

113. July of '68 --That "other lunatic from Texas" was president aka LBJ

[CanuckAmok]

115. Wow...I expected more LBJs than Ikes.

I never will forgive the way Ike treatede Tina. But I guess Karma took care of that, in the end.

[AuntiBush]

116. Shew. I'm in the top percentage.

Don't feel so bad now!

[Kire]

118. My parents told me a story about when I was 2 or 3 years old.

they asked me what I was doing up so early in the morning, I said I was watching President Carter

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

121. JFK

Wish I had been older though so I could have witnessed his presidency as something other than a screaming baby/toddler. SIGH.

[elperromagico]

123. Martin Van Buren.

Yes, that's right. I'm 167 years old.

Born in late November 1980

Nixon for me, but I must admit when I just voted, I got creeped out by this:

"You selected: Nixon

Click here to confirm your vote."

:shudder:

[Left Is Write]

141. Oh, yeah, that IS creepy.

[6000eliot]

142. Ike, 1959

The last republican president who didn't make me want to puke my guts out.

[cry baby]

144. Ike 1957

[dxstone]

145. Never really knew this til you asked!...

But I guess it would have to be Ike, in the tale end... 59...
Never heard much about Ike, never focused on him--first president of real significance to me was Kennedy; and though I was only three at the time, I swear I remember hearing about his assassination... or NOT hearing, cuz I was just a tot, of course, not being told but knowing even then that something immensely terrible and tragic had occurred... I remember how bummed my parents were over it...
Interesting that so few babies were born during the Nixon administration... for many it was probably the increasing availability of contraception at that time... but the fact of having to look at Nixon's sour mug on tv everyday, that didn't help the national ambience any... a strange mix, free love and Nixon's face... ugghhhh!
This is a fun post, a nice break amid all the doom and gloom... Thanx!

It was probably the copious amount of drugs interrupted fertility.

I was LBJ, but just barely. In utero when JFK was shot, and I still haven't gotten over the trauma.

[Pool Hall Ace]

155. Wasn't Ford famous for "clean your plate,

turn off the lights"? Maybe "don't have sex" was part of the energy conservation plan, too.

151. Chart: 2000 Census Demographics Vs. DU Demographics

Hosted by http://www.putfile.com

This shows DU survey plotted against 2000 census data.

Please let me know if I goofed anything up. I did the DU plotting by head and hand, and it's rough.

If I figured this right, I think pre-boomer (-1944) gens and Gen X (1965-1975) are underrepresented on here. Boomers (1946-1964) and Gen Y (1985-1992) are overrepresented.

[Jackpine Radical]

175. My grandfather was born during the administration of U.S. Grant.

I don't think my grandfather cared all that much about the fact, though, first because he was very young at the time and second, because he was in Denmark at the time.

183. One of the few Ford's here....

Does that mean that most of us turned into republicans? Possibly the influence of Reagan on our parents?

Wow, I went to work for 24 hrs and cant beleive the rsponse to this poll.
