So many recent presidents have had girls.
I think this dates back to LBJ. The only one I can think of who had boys was George H.W. Bush.

I've been thinking about this today. Maybe little girls provide a certain subconscious inspiration to their dads, and boys not so much. Could be that the powerful protective instinct dads seem to have for girls makes them want to create a better world for their little darlings.

I dunno though. :shrug:

2. Jimmy Carter has sons as does Gerald Ford.
Ronald Reagan also.

5. I've got three daughters and no sons,
and I think you may have a point. I'm a sucker for my three.

6. Maybe you are thinking too much.
I sure wouldn't want to claim that girls provide inspirations to their dads, while boys "not so much."

7. Maybe.
And some have pointed out that my theory is not correct. Apparently Reagan had boys, forgot about him, and Carter too. Oh well, it's been a long but lovely 24 hours! :)

9. I think you may be suffering from Post Election Political Junkie Let Down.
I would see a counselor immediately.
