I was born during Nixons presidency, but I remember Ford. First big thing i remember from TV was the evacuation of Saigon "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A. Heinlein “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “A single round of buckshot to the torso almost always results in an immediate change of behavior.” Chris Baker | |||

I'll take the youngest, so far. Reagan was in his 2nd term [1986]. Remember a bit of HW Bush. Clinton & W were the ones I recall actually having some comprehension of. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Less than a half year into JFKs first year. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

"I was born in the Truman era, but the one I remember was "I Like Ike". I was 5" Also, I was 7 when Ike was running. I remember some kids in my 2nd grade class that had the "I LIke Ike" badges. __________________________________________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit!

I was born in 1951 so Truman was president The first president I remember was Ike. First political thing I remember was Nikita Khrushchev pounding his shoe on the podium at the UN yelling at the USA "We will bury you". That sunk in because we practiced nuke bomb precautions in school. | |||

Same here. I remember Kennedy because of the assassination. My second grade teacher was very upset. LBJ was the first one I remember my dad bitching about. He hated that man. Had I had any inclination towards politics at that age I would have too. | |||

Reagan's first term. I'm in that weird "micro generation" that usually gets referred to as the "Oregon Trail Generation" after the computer game we all played in school as kids. Sometimes we get lumped in with GenX and other times with Millennials. Proverbs 28:1 | |||
