Poll: Who was the U.S. President when you were born?

[Seabiscuit]

Poll question: Poll: Who was the U.S. President when you were born?

I know there may be some of you younger than 18, and older than 78, but there is only room for 10 Presidents in this poll, so check in and let us know if you're pre-Hoover or post-Reagan.

I'm really curious to see if anyone was born during Woodrow Wilson's or Bill Clinton's administrations.

[Connonym]

1. Cool poll idea n/t

[Seabiscuit]

92. Thanks. I had no idea it would draw so much activity.

[Connonym]

106. I'm glad it did, it's so great to see the age range represented

I love that we're so diversified in age. It brings a lot of different perspectives to the table and that makes the conversations here so much more dynamic. Yet another reason DU rocks.

[underpants]

2. Rex Kern

:bounce:

Lyndon Johnson-I was going to name our boy cat that but my wife didn't think it was nearly as good an idea as I did.

[MedleyMisty]

3. I went with Ronald Reagan

Although really Carter was president when I was born. But Reagan had been elected, just not sworn in yet. I was born in December of 1980.

[scarlet_owl]

4. I was born on January 19, 1981. I think that was the day before

Reagan was sworn in. I'm not sure though. On edit: Welcome to DU!

[Seabiscuit]

5. In that case, your answer would be: Jimmy Carter. n/t

[Radical Activist]

46. I would claim Carter over Reagan any day.

I wouldn't admit being born during the Reagan years if there was any chance I wasn't.

Carter was President when I was born.

[VenusRising]

6. 7/6/76

Ford.

[UrbScotty]

25. Hate to break the news to you (if you didn't already know it...

You share birthdays with DUH-bya. You were born on his 30th.

[VenusRising]

54. Oh, I already know.

It's the crappiest thing about my birthday.

[UrbScotty]

65. I share birthdays with Dick DeVos

DeVos is a former head of Amway who thankfully lost a race for Governor of Michigan. He and Bush are so close, I think they'd be married if not for the fact that they're of the same sex.

[sce56]

83. Why would that stop them?

[mikeargo]

104. I'd like to see a similar headline now

Ike for me. But Kennedy was on the way!

[Art_from_Ark]

151. You missed the Bicentennial by two days

:hi:

[VenusRising]

159. I know. My stupid mom.

You think she would have tried a pogo stick or trampoline or something. What sucks is everyone wanting to celebrate on the 4th (just like *) since they have the day off. While I appreciate the sentiment when I was a kid because I thought all the fireworks were for me, but now all I think is, "That's not my birthday!!" :eyes:

[nonconformist]

7. Nixon for me. My kids were both born under Clinton. nt

[Left Is Write]

23. I have one child born during Reagan, one during Clinton, and one during Shrubya.

[Release The Hounds]

204. I was under Nixon

Both daughters under Codpiece.

[Deja Q]

8. Why was he called 'Tricky Dickie' anyway? Who'd he sleep with?

.

[Maccagirl]

20. No one

not even his wife.

[BulletproofLandshark]

9. 7/14/76

I was not only born during Ford's administration, but I was born on his birthday as well.

[VenusRising]

182. Bastille Day!

Cool!!

:thumbsup:

[Zavulon]

10. Johnson here. (NT)

[bigwillq]

11. Carter (nt)

[montanto]

12. JFK nt

[RetroLounge]

13. JFK

eom

RL

[fla nocount]

14. Hmm. Ike and Jimmy take early leads.

I wish I was skilled enough to analyze what that says about DU's demographics.

[TheBaldyMan]

40. JFK had a curtailed presidency, similarly Ford was a one termer

And pre-Truman there was no two term limit (I think) so FDR would be over represented.

You'ld have to divide the results by the number of years they were actually President.

[Seabiscuit]

58. Maybe I could do that after everyone's through voting.

If I did it right now, JFK would be the top vote-getter.

[mcscajun]

197. It means we're top-heavy with Baby Boomers and Echo Boomers.

:)

"Echo Boomers" being the children of Baby Boomers.

[mvd]

15. Gerald Ford

Would have been Carter the following January.

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. JFK. I was six months old when he was assassinated.

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

24. My sister was about 4-1/2 months old!

[NewWaveChick1981]

95. A lot of great people were born in 1963...

:hi: :D

[EFerrari]

130. My bro was three weeks old.

:hi:

[Mrs.Matcom]

148. I was born in '63 too!

I think I was about eight weeks old when he was assassinated. :hi:

[jakefrep]

17. Nixon here...

...I was a year old when he resigned.

[trackfan]

18. Eisenhower n/t

[Kajsa]

19. Harry S. Truman.

He was Pres. in 1951.

I thought I was one of the oldest bloggers around
till one gal reminded me that she voted
for Truman!

:7

[rhiannon55]

26. I too was born in 1951

Speak for yourself about "old"... :hi:

[Kajsa]

LOL- It's all tongue-in-cheek.

My family's from Sweden where they
celebrate your 50th,60th,70th ( etc.) birthday.

After living in the US for 57 years, my Mom
still doesn't get the hiding your age bit.

:hi:

[mcscajun]

198. Another 1951 baby checking in!

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

21. Eisenhower was still president when I was born

but only for a little while.

[sce56]

88. That was interesting

We have something in common there RRR

[Critters2]

172. Same here. First pres I remember is Kennedy, Well, I remember his

assassination. Just barely.

[Left Is Write]

22. Lyndon Johnson.

Born in 1965.

[guitar man]

27. JFK

....for 13 days

[nykiera]

28. JFK

[Cabcere]

30. Ronald Reagan

He even gave a speech the day I was born. It was supposed to be the State of the Union, but a faulty O-ring changed all that. :( RIP Challenger.

[Seabiscuit]

31. We got a Hoover! Huzza!!!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

44. Hoover? Damn!

Sorry. :spank:

[Seabiscuit]

32. With 99 votes in, Ike's kickin' ass!

[Blue_In_AK]

33. I'm a Truman baby - 1946

[Seabiscuit]

34. Ditto - 1945

Truman was still just finding his way around the Oval Office when I was born.

[Catchawave]

177. me too :)

My husband's FDR and my kids are Nixon, Ford and Carter.

We have quite a political family :D

[Reverend_Smitty]

35. I was born at the height of the Reagan administration...1984, it was rather a grim year

[Seabiscuit]

41. George Orwell might have agreed with you. :)

[Critters2]

173. I finished grad school in 1984

No wonder I feel old....I am.

[Maine-ah]

36. Nixon

resigned 4 months after I was born

[npincus]

37. Abe Lincoln

[Auggie]

38. Eisenhower -- but I was too young to care

[Rhythm]

39. i'm a "Johnsonite" (August '66)

the kids were born under the dregs of Reagan (Jan '89), and the last months of Clinton's 2nd term (May 2000)

[unsavedtrash]

42. Nixon

43. 1950

Truman

[LuLu550]

124. Me, too!

Cinco de Mayo...5/5/50
Although back then, Cinco de Mayo was nothing in the US. Ain't it grand how the beer manufactures can take an obscure holiday and turn it into a day of drinking??

[Aristus]

45. LBJ. 10/17/1968.

I was born while Apollo 7 was orbiting the Earth.

[Art_from_Ark]

153. And a couple of months later, the crew of Apollo 8

read from the Bible to an enthralled national audience (including me) as they circled the moon: "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth..."

[sakabatou]

47. Reagan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqN-mbPP5Qs

[mark414]

48. Ray-Gun

1985

[hellbound-liberal]

49. Eisenhower, the last decent Republican.

Since then nothin' but morons and crooks from that side of the aisle.

[chknltl]

50. Another vote for Ike (eek did I just vote for a repug?) nt

[Seabiscuit]

55. This is the only poll where you can vote Repug free of remorse. :)

[nedbal]

121. Ike is closer to todays dems than the repugs we have now

[Seabiscuit]

134. Very true. Today's Rethugs represent the "military-industrial complex" Ike warned us about. n/t

[movie_girl99]

51. Johnson n/t

[Madspirit]

52. A lot of us

There seems to be a lot of us Eisenhower babies on DU.
The first campaign I worked on was McGovern but I was still too young to vote for him. The age had just dropped to 19, in Texas and I was 18.
Lee

[Madspirit]

53. Tricky Dick

Someone asked if the reason Nixon was called "Tricky Dick" was because he had sex with someone who gave him that name. Another poster claimed he had sex with no one...<g>

So...

Tricia and Julie came from a turkey baster? He had sex at least twice or Pat was really close to the milkman.

http://www.answers.com/topic/richard-nixon

As a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, he received national attention for his hostile questioning of Alger Hiss. In 1950 he was elected to the Senate following a bitter campaign in which he unfairly portrayed his opponent as a communist sympathizer; the epithet “Tricky Dick” dates from this period.


Lee

[Seabiscuit]

60. You mean Tricia and Julie *didn't* come from a turkey baster? I'm disappointed...

Somehow I'm having a really hard time picturing how it really happened.

Eeeeeaaaaauuuuuggggghhhhhh!!!

[Madspirit]

64. It's definitely repulsive and scary. n/t

[Orsino]

56. When I was born, one of the telegrams read...

..."Congratulations on little Jack's arrival." This from someone on my mother's side of the family who didn't realize I was named for my paternal grandfather.

My folks are diehard Dems, but I have never been "Jack."

[MikeH]

57. Truman

December 13, 1950

[MiniMandaRuth]

59. Bill Clinton.

Good years, good years.

[Seabiscuit]

62. Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a youngbud to go with the person who voted Herbert Hoover. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

98. Wait, weren't you born in '92?

Bill wasn't president until January 1993. :P

[MiniMandaRuth]

102. Oh, 91.

I don't know my own damn history.

Oh well. It was close enough. x(

[Seabiscuit]

119. Klunk!

[Ignacio Upton]

131. How old are you?

I'm assuming that you were born in '93 or '94, because I'd be shocked to find someone on here born after 1993 or so.

[TK421]

63. Gerald Ford

other than that, 1975 was a good year ;-)

[terrya]

66. Dwight D. Eisenhower

His 2nd term.

[Seabiscuit]

67. Were you born with blue suede shoes?

[terrya]

71. No.

Dammit.

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

68. Nixon was the president when I was born. 10/7/73 n/t

[Cobalt-60]

69. if only it had been Ike and Tina in the White house..

[xmas74]

70. Ford. 27 Dec 1974

He hadn't been there for very long.

[Scarlett17]

72. Tricky Dick n/t

[Courtesy Flush]

73. I thought we had a younger crowd here

I was surprised to see I'm in the majority (so far) with Ike.

[SOteric]

74. Some white dude with a Christian upbringing.

:hi:

[deadparrot]

75. Raygun, 1987.

:(

[RevolutionaryActs]

76. Reagan

[CBHagman]

77. Another boomer, another Eisenhower baby here.

Now Eisenhower would be too wildly liberal for the Bush crowd. :eyes:

But he knew war, and he warned against the military industrial complex.

[MrSlayer]

78. Tricky Dick.

You know, the guy who wasn't a crook.

[Seabiscuit]

79. The "I Like Ike" crowd just checked in this evening BIG TIME!

[Critters2]

174. I'm more the "I don't remember Ike" crowd. nt

[GoneOffShore]

80. We Trumanites seem to be diminishing.

But not as fast as the FDR's

Good idea for a poll. Let's us all know the demographic around here.

Too bad it couldn't be in GD.

[Seabiscuit]

82. GD? Did I put this in the wrong forum?

GD moves so fast I was afraid this would sink to the 5th page during the first hour.

[GoneOffShore]

84. It would have sunk in the first 15 minutes

Not because it's not a good poll, but because Anna Nicole would have overwhelmed it.,

[Seabiscuit]

85. Anna Nicole? Is that what GD's off about tonight? Egadssoooooks!

[mcscajun]

199. One possible explanation...

I automatically checked Eisenhower because that is the first President I remember; hell, by the time the 1960 election came around, I was astounded that Ike wouldn't always be President. I was only nine in 1960. :)

However, I was born in 1951, so I should have checked Truman, who lost the 1952 election to Eisenhower. There may be other Truman babies who did likewise.

[L A Woman]

81. I am surprised at this poll...

Eisenhower???? By such a large margin???? Loungers are much older, in general, than I thought! I figured most would be around my age (Johnson years) or slightly younger...

[sce56]

86. As my sig implies

Back in the fifties when the LAST GOOD & HONEST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT was in office!

[Seabiscuit]

87. Wow! 1001 Views in less than 14 hours!

That's got to be a record for any thread I've ever started here.

[TOhioLiberal]

89. JFK...

...04/27/62.

[otherlander]

90. The Dumbfuck's Dad.

[Vidar]

91. Ike.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

93. Carter....

My husband and I,basically all of our friends, and my husband's brother were born when Carter was president. My husband's sister was born when Clinton was president. My brother was born when Regan was president. Both of my parents were born when Truman was president. My grandmother was born when Wilson was president. My son was born during Bush Jr.'s presidency.

[michreject]

94. Give em hell Harry...........nt

[Seabiscuit]

96. My favorite Truman quote:

(about his presidential political opponent, Dewey): "The more he lies about me, the more I'll tell the truth about him." Political correctness had not yet been invented.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

97. Technically, Poppy was (1991).

But I don't remember that, thank all. :)

[otherlander]

136. Yay! Another one!

:hi:

So I was born during the gulf war
(when george bush was president)
and I'm going to graduate high school
during the gulf war, when
george bush is president
dammit.x(

[Seabiscuit]

99. On a per-year-in-office basis, JFK comes out on top:

On an average, 12.35 Loungers were born each 12 months of his administration - more than during any other administration listed here.

Eisenhower, for instance, with 67 votes compared to the 35 for JFK, served a full 8 years, and averaged only 8.375 Loungers per 12 months.

[name not needed]

100. Reagan

[CaliforniaPeggy]

101. 1943--Roosevelt!

Alas, I do not remember it at all.........

[Seabiscuit]

103. Same year as my sister. :)

[TommyO]

105. Johnson, but how I wish it had been Kennedy.

If it weren't for his assassination, it would have been Kennedy.

[Seabiscuit]

112. You wuz ROBBED!

[Art_from_Ark]

155. We wuz ALL robbed!

[Pierre.Suave]

107. Gerald Ford

I feel old.

[Seabiscuit]

110. Really? You're a baby!

I was born the day headlines in U.S. newspapers in huge letters screamed:
"HITLER DIES!"

[Pierre.Suave]

115. I feel old

I dont know why.

[auntAgonist]

108. I have NO idea, I didn't live here until 6 years ago ..

born in 1957 so I guess I could google huh?

:shrug:

aA

[Seabiscuit]

109. No need to google - 1957 = Dwight D. Eisenhower. Feel free to vote. :) n/t

[LostInAnomie]

111. Raygun

:thumbsdown:

[Nicole]

113. Dwight D. Eisenhower

Richard M. Nixon was VP.

[Seabiscuit]

114. Wow. 306 votes! Has anyone NOT voted yet? n/t

[Seabiscuit]

150. Closing in on 400, with over 2,000 Views! Wow!

[njdemocrat106]

116. Carter, though Reagan was president-elect (nt)

[Seabiscuit]

117. OK, the bar has been open for hours. Check in here on your way home. :)

[flamingyouth]

118. Johnson, but Nixon had just been elected n/t

[DainBramaged]

120. WOW, old farts rule (like me hehehehe)

[Mendocino]

122. Eisenhower 57

My grandfather was born during the Grover Cleveland's first term. Would have been 120 this year.

[calico1]

123. Eisenhower in 1958 n/t

[Critters2]

175. Me too! nt

[Lost4words]

125. 1954, Eisenhower

[Seabiscuit]

126. 3 Ikes in a row!

[Seabiscuit]

140. Speaking of Ike, I've noticed about 25-27% of the votes have gone his way

since this poll first went up. Pretty consistent.

[Seabiscuit]

127. Are there really only 335 people who frequent the Lounge over 48 hours?

[Seabiscuit]

128. Shameless kick for the Sunday evening crowd. :)

[Bucky]

129. Kennedy, by about a seven week margin

My first memory of there being a president only goes back to Nixon. God, he was awesome.

[Initech]

132. Reagan, although I was born in '80 so would Carter be the choice?

:shrug:

[Seabiscuit]

141. Yes, your choice should be Carter. Reagan didn't take office until January '81

[Initech]

144. Ah, I can sleep easier at night now!

[Ignacio Upton]

133. Reagan

November 22, 1987. I was born while Iran-Contra was going on, and only a month after the stock market crashed. Just curious, why isn't there a George HW Bush option? I've seen a few posters on here who were born between 1989 and 1991.

[Seabiscuit]

218. Answer: space for only 10, and I played Hoover on a hunch...

Sure enough, there was 1 DU'er who voted Hoover.

[Tangledog]

135. I was born during the Checkers speech

...which makes me a Trumanian, and a footnote to history :)

[NNadir]

137. You and I were born in the same month.

I am slightly older than you are.

[ghostsofgiants]

138. '85 - Reagan.

[SPKrazy]

139. Kennedy

61

:cry:

they killed him those bastards

[Seabiscuit]

142. Will this poll reach 400 entries? And will another Hoover step up?

[Liberalynn]

143. JFK

Maybe that's why I am a Dem! :)

[LSdemocrat]

145. Last month of the Carter presidency

[Starbucks Anarchist]

146. Carter (1980).

[Breeze54]

147. Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower - Thirty-Fourth President 1953-1961

[Seabiscuit]

149. Our last war hero and the last honorable Republican. n/t

[Breeze54]

156. "Our last war hero"?

There have been a few wars and hero's since then.

[Seabiscuit]

157. That's just the way I think of him.

I don't think of just any guy in a uniform as being a "hero" just because he's seen some war.

Ike successfully commanded the allied Armies against the Nazis. Aside from those who stormed the beaches at Normandy (now THAT was heroic), I just don't see many real heros out there besides Ike. I see nothing heroic about war itself - and I see WWII as the last necessary war of defense that America has fought in.

[Breeze54]

158. Whether or not

a war is necessary has nothing to do with the hero's each will have.
The soldiers fight and do heroic things for their fellow soldiers.
Not for the war itself.

[Seabiscuit]

162. You're right. I guess with the mess in Messopotamia, I get a bit cynical

when I catch a glimpse of some TV news blip about some marines passing through Camp Pendleton and how every talking head keeps gushing over the word "heros" whether or not they've even had any battlefield experience yet, or regardless of what they have or haven't done in Iraq. I see nothing heroic about this ugly war, and although I'm sure there are many soldiers on the ground in Iraq who have done some small heroic things to help their fellow soldiers in trouble, my concept of heroism is a bit different and goes considerably beyond that- e.g. the battle for Omaha Beach in a war that was worth fighting. I guess that's why I couldn't ever get my mind around the idea that there were any war heros in the Vietnam war - sure, acts of bravery here and there (John Kerry comes to mind), but it was an ugly war with a lot of ugly killing and mayhem (not limited to the My Lai massacre by any means - a friend of mine suffered severe PTSD for many years full of nightmares as a result of being ordered at gunpoint to kick a helpless Vietnamese woman to death, and according to him and many others I knew who were there that was no isolated incident). It's not at all surprising to me, especially with the Abu Graib revelations, that in the Iraq war, also based on lies, there are marines being court-martialed right here in San Diego for murdering innocent civilians.

[Breeze54]

167. Crime happens in every war. Soldiers are also human beings.

"It's not at all surprising to me, especially with the Abu Graib revelations, that in the Iraq war, also based on lies,
there are marines being court-martialed right here in San Diego for murdering innocent civilians."

It's not surprising to me either but it is disturbing (weak adjective)
as it also was to me during the Vietnam War. The sadness never ends....

MATEY

By Archie Hepburn - 1917

Not comin’ back Tonight Matey
and Reliefs are comin’ through
We’re all going out alright Matey
Only we’re leavin’ you
Gawd, it’s a bloody sin Matey
Now that we’ve finished the fight
We go when Reliefs come in matey
But you’re staying ‘ere tonight

Over the top is cold Matey
You lie on the field alone
Didn’t I love you of old Matey
Dearer than blood of my own
You were my dearest chum Matey
(Gawd, but your face is white)
But now the Reliefs have come Matey
I’m going alone tonight

I’d sooner the bullet was mine Matey
Goin’ out on my own
Leavin’ you ‘ere in the Line Matey
All by yourself, alone,
Chum, o’ mine and your dead Matey
And this is the way we part
The bullet went through your head Matey
But, Gawd, it went through my ‘eart


This is a poem by Archie Hepburn, a soldier in WW1 and was written in the trenches in 1917.

152. Johnson. I was born just 4 short mos. after Kennedy was killed.

March '64.

[Seabiscuit]

154. That must have really been rough on your mom - being pregnant in 11/63

I was a freshman at Oberlin College, and I was utterly devastated that day. All the nightmare images of what would happen to this country afterwards have come true and a lot worse.

[Shine]

160. Yeah, I've thought about that, too.

however, I don't think it was as rough as it was when she was pregnant with her youngest child, her third, and she found out that her second-born 8 mos. old daughter was profoundly mentally retarded. It was a HUGE shock and devastating to everybody. No wonder my youngest sister ended up being born 6 wks early. I suspect it was difficult for her to be in utero, inside a deeply grieving mother. :cry:

[Seabiscuit]

164. That is so sad, and I'm so sorry for all of you. n/t

[Shine]

179. Thanks, Seabiscuit.

:hug: For what it's worth, you'll be interested to know I just spontaneously clicked on your user profile (which I don't do very often) and was pleasantly surprised to see that you and I have chosen the same quote as our comment.

"What goes around, comes around." Interesting, eh?

:hug: Yes, indeedy.

[Seabiscuit]

184. You know, I did that yesterday myself, and noticed the same thing!

Wow!

[Shine]

186. That's funny.

I guess we're kindred spirits. :pals:

:hi:

[Seabiscuit]

189. And both from California!

What's that saying about "great minds"?

:pals:

[Shine]

191. Exactly!

we rock! :hug:

[huskerlaw]

161. Carter

1978. :)

[Redstone]

163. There's no period after the "S" in Harry S Truman's name. Today's trivia for you.

Redstone

[Seabiscuit]

165. You're absolutely right. Thank you for the heads up! n/t

[SmileyBoy]

166. Another one of the Children Of Reagan over here...

16 out of my 24 years on this planet have been under the rule of a Republican. :puke:

[Breeze54]

168. I feel your pain.

:hug:

[malmapus]

169. Nixon was very close to stepping down

So I caught the last days of his administration.

[Seabiscuit]

170. DING! DING! DING! IKE SCORES 100!!!

[Hosnon]

171. What does this indicate?

Obviously that DU is of a certain average age, right?

How about this: Perhaps certain time periods were more likely to produce liberals/Democrats. The Gerald Ford dip got me thinkin'...

[Seabiscuit]

183. Unfortunately,

this poll isn't designed to give much of an indication of an average age. It does point to a pretty heavy baby boomer population, though.

I'm surprised at the relatively high number of us Truman babies, though.

[CatholicEdHead]

176. Carter

[CatholicEdHead]

216. Need to retract this

It was actually Ford.

178. wow...allot more babyboomers that I expected!

I was born the year Jimmy Carter was elected,..:cry: does that make me a Ford baby?

[Seabiscuit]

203. Nope. You were born before Ford was sworn in. A Carter baby.

[texanwitch]

180. Another Eisenhower baby here.

There seems to be a lot of us.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

181. I was born 11 days before Jimmy Carter left the White House

I'm glad to have been born during the Carter Administration, even though it was only in office for a few more days.

[Pacifist Patriot]

185. I was born on the Cusp of Johnson. Nixon had just been elected days before.

[Seabiscuit]

190. Close, but still a Nixon baby.

[Seabiscuit]

196. I misread you post. You're a Johnson baby. Sorry.

[ScreamingMeemie]

187. Nixon. WannaBe was born during Poppa Bush's reig...er presidency

and BabyG was born during Clinton's.

[treestar]

188. Ike

That's going to be the biggest because of the baby boom.

Looks like the baby bust was during the Ford Era.

[cloudbase]

192. Ike, also. n/t

[Seabiscuit]

193. Are the under-40 people in the Lounge not interested, or is the age of

people in the lounge higher than anyone suspected?

Two-thirds of those participating in the poll say they were born before 1969 (Hoover through Johnson), 38 years ago.

That's got to surprise a lot of people here, I suspect. Maybe those born since Nixon took office just post more, I don't know.

Lots of baby boomers. 25% born between 1953 and 1961.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

194. St. Ronnie "I... don't recall" Reagan; 1982

[Seabiscuit]

195. This poll's been around for a week! Final kick. n/t

[ncrainbowgrrl]

200. Kick for Jimmy Carter!

Best ex-president! :kick:

[Danmel]

201. Eisenhower

I was born in April 1960 - My husband in May 1960

My daughter was born during GHWB's term and my son in the first Clinton term.

[yellowcanine]

202. That would be Harry "Strike a blow for Liberty" Truman.

[rocktivity]

205. How am I supposed to know?

I had just been born, after all!

:crazy:

[Seabiscuit]

207. No birthdays? No birth certificate? No driver's license?

[rocktivity]

208. For who--me or whoever was president?

But seriously, folks, I did look it up and I did vote.

206. Summary: On average,

1. JFK: 20.8 DUers were born per year of JFK's 2.83 years in office.

2. IKE: 14 DUers were born per year of IKE's 8 years in office.

3. LBJ: 10.84 DUers were born per year during LBJ's 5.15 years in office.

4. Carter: 10.25 DUers were born per year during Jimmy's 4 years in office.

5. Nixon: 8.9 DUers were born per year during Tricky Dick's 5.6 years in office.
