Who Was President When You Were Born?

[CO Liberal]

I'm starting with Clinton because I don't think there are many people three or under at DU.

Personally, I'm "Other". I was born in November of 1952 - Eisenhower had just been elected, but Truman was still in office.

My sisters and I howled at my birthday party -- it was some year when giving lists of "Things That Happened the Year You Were Born" had just become popular, and someone gave me one for my birthday. The main headline was "John F. Kennedy assassinated." Well, my sisters and I nearly peed ourselves laughing, because we'd all grown up with the knowledge, and my mother practically blamed me for the crime.

She also says that in her case there was a lone gunman, and a grassy knoll was not involved.

[Ivan Zero]

78. LOL! Your mom's hilarious.

There seem to be a lot of us Summer '64 babies out there. Apparently the assassination turned many a mind to l'amour that previous winter.
