Who was the President, PM, or possibly in the case of our good friend Gus, Starship Commander, or Supreme Leader of the Galaxy when you were born?
For me, it would be Franklin Roosevelt.
Kennedy.
But not for long...
Truman, although Eisenhower was sworn in when I was 4 months old. I was so happy about that I peed in my pants.
FWIW, the first campaign jingle I remember, to the tune of "Whistle while you work".
Whistle while you work,
Stevenson's a jerk,
Eisenhower has the power
to-oo do the work!
FDR...in his second term.
Eisenhower, but Kennedy had already won.
FDR.
Wow, we have really got a BUNCH of geezers on this board!
Well, I guess that was bound to happen.
I'm wonderin' about Gus, is he on the other side of the stargate?
I was wondering but thought I would be polite.
I guess I am the only millennial so far.
Bunch of you people ought not buy green bananas...
Eisenhower here, Churchill on the other side of the pond and (Hallelujah!) Stalin had just been buried.
Some young wippersnappers only respect old age in a bottle.
LBJ but less than 5 weeks after JFK
Bunch of you people ought not buy green bananas...
Was thinking the same thing!
Jerry
Harry Truman, and my earliest presidential election memory was hearing "I like Ike" when I was about 6, (in 1956) and asking my dad, "who's Ike?".
I actually had to look it up to be sure, Truman had taken over 3 weeks before I was born.
Dave
Ford, damn some of youse old as hell.
I guess I am the only millennial so far.
Yours isn't the millennium they're referring to. Your generation is referred to as "Kaywoodians".
Bunch of you people ought not buy green bananas...
I don't.
Here in ID you can save a few bucks by registering your vehicle for two years instead of just one.

Well Bender, you have the prize, so far, but first, a pop quiz.

I thought maybe you were born in the alternate universe where RFK was elected and Spock had a beard...

Eisenhower. A month before JFK was elected.
HA!
Nixon and Kirk. Forever able to declare - so fine in '69!
Reagan.
I lump myself in with Gen X
I tried that too, I just can skew the numbers enough.
I'm '83 so "early '80's" can go either way. Behaviorally I belong in the Gen X camp.

Truman, a good ole MO boy that's the only prez to drop the big one.
I'm questioning the wisdom these days of not dropping a few more over the years.
last probably decent and honest guy to hold the office.

1956....would be Dwight D Eisenhower.
But the earliest thing I remember about the presidency would JFK's funeral. I can still see that B/W TV image of the horse drawn caisson being pulled through DC.
Eisenhower. But he only had a few days left in office when I got here.
