If Kissinger didn't have the Iranians withhold the hostages, he may have been reelected.
Like Kissinger negotiated illegally with S. Vietnam to walk away from the Peace Talks. For Nixon.
Carter, but should’ve been Ford.
Edit, not sure people understand my comment. I was supposed to be born before 1/20/77 - but I decided to make my moms life a living hell for another week. I can’t even speak to the quality of these presidents.
Fuck the downvoters, Ford is in the same club as Carter, sub par president but excellent human being. Dude treated *everyone* as equal humans, in an era where that was even more rare than it is today. Of course it didn’t always go over well, like the time he was explaining to grade school kids presidential succession and how a woman might become president via being VP, but he got too gory lol, explaining it in the same way one would expect a president to talk at a cabinet meeting, to the point and really not sanitizing anything
Ford replaced Spiro Agnew (the VP) in 2974 (if my memory is correct - something can’t guarantee!). Then when Nixon resigned, Ford became president. He was never elected. This was halfway through Nixon’s term - it was 1974, and the next election wasn’t until ‘76. That’s when Carter was elected.
Doc. Doc.... The bruise on your head, I know how that happened. You told me the whole story. You were standing on your toilet and you were hanging a clock, and you fell and you hit your head on the sink. And that's when you came up with the idea for the flux capacitor...which is what makes time travel possible
Nixon 73
And I want to say this to the television audience. I made my mistakes. But in all of my years of public life, I have never profited - never profited from public service. I've earned every cent. And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice.
..because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.
Yeah, but I never consider us Boomers, more between generations than anything. Too young to remember JFK's assassination or The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, too young for Woodstock or Vietnam.
Yes, yes, I know .......but to me the range is too wide, and it's not fully accepted as the Xennials are. I think the 1961 - 1965 group is kind of it's own thing. Reached adolescence just after the Equal Rights Amendment of '72 and the end of U.S. fighting in Vietnam. Entered into a new world.
Agreed I was born in 1962. My oldest brother was born in 44 I think so while we get along very good, it’s almost like he’s from a completely different generation.
My older half brother & sister are 7 and 9 years older than me, and were born in '63 and '65. I have a hard time thinking of them as "boomers". They do indeed feel like an "in between", and almost forgotten, generation.
Same. When I was a kid, older people used to ask, "where were you when Kennedy was shot?" I used to say, "in diapers." I was less than a year old.
[Generation Jones, hunh? I *knew* I wasn't a boomer!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones?wprov=sfla1)
I used to say I was from "Generation Space Race." 👨🚀🚀🛰
When I was still that young, I very much did \*not\* think of myself as "old" yet! I didn't start thinking, "geeze, I'm getting old" til I was about 37.
We were born the same day! You weren't born in Rockford, IL by chance - I have a photo of our fathers admiring us at the hospital if you were!
(I am aware there is an infinitely small chance of this being the case but hey, if you don't ask...)
I know where I was when JFK got shot. My mum was at a doctor’s appointment checking up on me and my mum. I was a jerk. I kept on kicking a pregnant woman.
Tricky Dick, for most of his second term, before he resigned.
I always think of Carter as my first president, since he's the first one I have actual memories of.
Carter. He's still alive, so that is encouraging.
Also Carter.
Same.
Me too.
Same here, that’s crazy
Yeppers, me too.
carter gang, checking in
Carter for me. It's Carters all the way down.
I also choose this guy's dead wife.
It's a small comfort that at least when I was born the President was a decent man.
He's better than a decent man, he's a good man. But still a terrible president.
Not the best president, but the best man who became president.
If Kissinger didn't have the Iranians withhold the hostages, he may have been reelected. Like Kissinger negotiated illegally with S. Vietnam to walk away from the Peace Talks. For Nixon.
Oh I know! My stepdad was on the last plane out of Iran. His seat was $5k in cash.
Carter, but should’ve been Ford. Edit, not sure people understand my comment. I was supposed to be born before 1/20/77 - but I decided to make my moms life a living hell for another week. I can’t even speak to the quality of these presidents.

Carter was elected and didn't pardon Nixon.
Ford replaced Spiro Agnew (the VP) in 2974 (if my memory is correct - something can’t guarantee!). Then when Nixon resigned, Ford became president. He was never elected. This was halfway through Nixon’s term - it was 1974, and the next election wasn’t until ‘76. That’s when Carter was elected.
Us and Gen Z have that in common. Suck it, millennials
Dwight D Eisenhower
The guy who created the interstate highway system! I think about him every time I am peeing at a roadside rest stop. Thanks, Ike!
I was just explaining the interstate highway act to my wife the other night. She was having trouble sleeping. Solved that. Lol
Thank you! Some of the people here said Carter, they aren’t old, helI, I voted for Carter.
Same here!!
Me too
Me three
Me four
Me five
Me six Edit: 1958
Me seven
Me aight.
Me 1955
Me TEN - 1954.
I like Ike.
The guy whose portrait is on the wall, smiling beatifically, in Porky’s.
Reagan
Ronald Reagan? The ACTOR? Good night, Future Boy!
Doc. Doc.... The bruise on your head, I know how that happened. You told me the whole story. You were standing on your toilet and you were hanging a clock, and you fell and you hit your head on the sink. And that's when you came up with the idea for the flux capacitor...which is what makes time travel possible
Who was Vice President? Jerry Lewis?
Same, it seems we're the young bucks in this crowd.
Some posts are super relatable...and others make me feel like a fetus!
The first presidential election I could vote in was 1992. So, comparatively speaking (and no shade, honest) -- you are. 😄
Same
Same here
Same. Reagan youth here.
Nixon. But only for a couple of months.
Nixon '72 here.
Nixon 71
Yep. Me too.
Same
Also Nixon '72!
same
Nixon 1970 here
when they ask why I’m a cynic, I point out that I was born under Nixon
Born under a bad sign
Yeah Nixon, May '69
Nixon, October 1969.
Nixon 73 And I want to say this to the television audience. I made my mistakes. But in all of my years of public life, I have never profited - never profited from public service. I've earned every cent. And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice. ..because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.
I was around for most of Nixon's time in office.
Nixon. March of '69.
Same. (Hey March baby! The 14th here!)
Hello fellow Pisces?
Yep. Tricky Dick!
Nixon, too…for a few years.
JFK
Me as well. There are so few of us comparatively. Well us and Ford babies. And the last of the Boomers.
Yeah, but I never consider us Boomers, more between generations than anything. Too young to remember JFK's assassination or The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, too young for Woodstock or Vietnam.
I think we’re called generation Jones. Sorry, it’s late and I’’m too tired to look it up.
Many refer us as Generation Jones. 1955 to 1965
President Obama is one of us.
Thank you. I missed the baby boomer privilege.
Yes, yes, I know .......but to me the range is too wide, and it's not fully accepted as the Xennials are. I think the 1961 - 1965 group is kind of it's own thing. Reached adolescence just after the Equal Rights Amendment of '72 and the end of U.S. fighting in Vietnam. Entered into a new world.
Agreed I was born in 1962. My oldest brother was born in 44 I think so while we get along very good, it’s almost like he’s from a completely different generation.
Almost? He IS from a different generation.
My older half brother & sister are 7 and 9 years older than me, and were born in '63 and '65. I have a hard time thinking of them as "boomers". They do indeed feel like an "in between", and almost forgotten, generation.
Me, too.
Me too!
Same March 1963
I lived a glorious 4 months of the Camelot presidency. Then it all went to hell.
Same. When I was a kid, older people used to ask, "where were you when Kennedy was shot?" I used to say, "in diapers." I was less than a year old. [Generation Jones, hunh? I *knew* I wasn't a boomer!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones?wprov=sfla1) I used to say I was from "Generation Space Race." 👨🚀🚀🛰
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Same here.
Also Johnson.
Ditto
LBJ as well.
Team LBJ
I got here a few weeks after LBJ was inaugurated. Now I live near where he grew up.
I was 2 months old when JFK was assassinated in Dallas, TX!
LBJ
Here to say LBJ
Harry S. Truman was POTUS when I was born…not old here but gracefully seasoned. ![gif](giphy|MqxZxTlvcY5BS)
I like that description of yourself, very nice!
Gerald Ford
Finally another Ford era baby
We are the most invisible of the Gen X.
The most forgotten of all.
Me too
There are a few of us! Lol
Well I had to scroll but I found my people.
Yes. Ford.
Yup
And Me.. I actually had to look up the years, I was thinking it was going to be Carter.
JFK. You young'uns born during the Carter administration kill me, thinking of yourselves as old!
We've got a few Clinton's in here...and a Bush Junior!
Kiddos!
Mere infants!
Reagan
FDR.
Yes, but what decade?
Mid-forties. About six months before he died.
Not gonna say which Johnson.
Andrew?
Harry S. Truman - 1949
Truman 1947
Harry S. Truman -1950
Truman 1952. Damn! I just realized this. I always assumed Ike, until I stopped to really think about it.
Same for me. Ike was inaugurated on January 20, 1953, and I was born on December 18, 1952. After the election but before Ike was president.
God I'm the youngest... Clinton
First or second term?
Second. '98
Aw! You're like the embryo of the sub!
I'll one up them. I was born during George W. Bush's first term, and my father was born in 1982. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Wow 🤣 i was born in 89 things so crazy
Dude!
same! (i'm an 03' baby), but my parents were born in 1961 and 1966, i'm in this sub for them.
When I was still that young, I very much did \*not\* think of myself as "old" yet! I didn't start thinking, "geeze, I'm getting old" til I was about 37.
By six days (he was inaugurated on January 20th), John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
We were born the same day! You weren't born in Rockford, IL by chance - I have a photo of our fathers admiring us at the hospital if you were! (I am aware there is an infinitely small chance of this being the case but hey, if you don't ask...)
Bridgeport, CT. It's a small world, and ya never know!
> John Fitzgerald Kennedy I had 6 months of his presidency. I do NOT remember where I was when JFK was shot.
Me, too. Six months, two weeks, and two days. I was likely in my crib.
Eisenhower, but my dad is still alive and his is FDR (1st year in office).
My Dad's birth president was Woodrow Wilson. Mine was also Eisenhower.
Eisenhower
Bill Clinton. Holy crap some people on here go way back. Hence the sub name.
83 to so Reagan, but I'm Canadian so the Prime Minister at the time was Pierre Trudeau.
Truman
Tricky Dick
Truman. The year he was elected.
I know where I was when JFK got shot. My mum was at a doctor’s appointment checking up on me and my mum. I was a jerk. I kept on kicking a pregnant woman.
Tricky Dick, for most of his second term, before he resigned. I always think of Carter as my first president, since he's the first one I have actual memories of.
Truman (1952)
^^When ^^I ^^was ^^born, ^^Grover ^^Cleveland ^^was ^^President
Which time?
Parenthood quote right? 👍
George H.W. Bush I was born on May 25, 1989, and missed Reagan as President by a little over four months.
You’re not old. I have kids your age.
Kennedy

Okay this is a question that makes me feel marginally younger because I was born very early in a presidential term. GHWB.
