I'm an old guy... born just before JFK took office, so my answer is Eisenhower.
My wife was born during JFK's presidency.
I hope nobody here was born after Clinton's presidency :lol
you can say if you were born during first or 2nd terms also for presidents who had multiple terms.
Coolidge.
Truman
hmmm... didn't realize I was one of the younger people here :lol
Reagan.
Where's the choice for Taft?
Born in the Second Age of Ronaldus Maximus.
Reagan's first term
Seriously? I always thought you to be much youngerQuote:

I'm surprised to be the first to vote from the Carter era.
Reagan

You need to put George W. Bush on there for Winehole and ChumpDumper. They certainly didn't come alive until he was president, anyway.
Johnson
Ditto for meQuote:

I guess starting this poll is more fun than just asking "how old are you?"
That's what I was thinking.Quote:

His answer to this thread...
Roosevelt, Theodore.
How Old are You threads have been done before probably. Plus this thread makes people have to google a list of presidents to see who was pres. when they were born.Quote:

I would put money on the fact that many people would not know without looking it up.
I'd like to think you are wrong, but based on the idiocy of today's high school students, I wouldn't bet against you.Quote:

I was born during the tail-end of Eisenhower, so I'm still in my 40s.
2 Democrats ago (aka Carter) for me. Not really surprisingly, over 40% so far from the 70's Presidents.
reagan first term
Richard Milhous Nixon
Ford. Growing up during the age of Reagan and Bush41 didn't have an effect on me as I started out voting Democratic.
Where is the George Washington option for Xray?
what's with all the "old" jokes about X Ray? is he really old? what happened to him anyway, is he still around? did he die of old age?
who doesnt know that?Quote:

the number 1 hit on the charts from when xray was born was yankee doodle dandy

Truman. They have all lied, before being elected, even more after being in office when reality sets in.
Seriously.Quote:

and I'm not even American.
Now that shit is hard, at least for me. I can't even begin to formulate a guess :lolQuote:

I wasn't sure if I came into the world during JFK or Eisenhower... I had never really been interested in it before. (wasn't sure if JFK took office in '60 or '61).Quote:

If I asked my wife who was president when she was born, I would be shocked if she knew right offhand.
2nd term of Reagan.
Why would people? It's not like that is something within their period of experience (unless the Pres served two terms that the person was alive for). I can remember every president starting with the one AFTER I was born because I can remember those times. The list of Presidents was never all that big of a deal in school. Unless a President either did something big, or something big happened during his term, it just doesn't seem important to the vast majority of people, including teachers.Quote:
