Who was president when you were born?

56. FDR

Born in 1943.

HST actually came to my tiny home town in MT by train in the early 50s and we still have home movies of that occasion.

I actually "liked" Ike although my parents were staunch Stevenson supporters. I remember seeing JFK in person two months before he was assassinated. I was not able to vote for Lyndon Johnson in 1964 or for Hubert Humphrey in 1968 because I left the US in 1964 before I was 21 (that was the voting age then) and thus had no official voting residence in the US before my return in 1970. Of course, Humphrey didn't get elected and that was the beginning of the end for Dem party policies. I hated Nixon (I voted McGovern in 1972) and tolerated Gerald Ford, whom I also saw in person. I supported Jimmy Carter in both 1976 and 1980. Alas, we got Reagan and the full beginning of the onslaught on FDR's policies. Bush I and the first Gulf War helped set up the ME for Dim Son's invasion in 2003 and caused no end of havoc once our "ally" Kuwait did a mass expulsion of Palestinians - many who had been born in Kuwait and thought of themselves more as Kuwaitis - after Saddam's defeat.

I supported Walter Mondale in 1984 and Michael Dukakis in 1988. I supported Bill Clinton both times and finally was a winner again. I supported Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama (another two-time winner) and Hillary Clinton.

I may have lost more than I won in Presidential and other elections. But I have always voted and have been VERY proud of those I voted for, even when they did not have the same stands on every issue that I have had.
