    John F. Kennedy and no I do not remember where I was on the day that he was assassinated. I do know that I was not on the grassy knoll.

    Carter was the President the year of my birth but I wasn't in the States at the time. James Callaghan was the P.M. where I was born and I've heard nothing but great things about the man. Not so much about Carter though...

    LBJ

    If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: "President Can't Swim." - Lyndon B. Johnson


    And that quote, ladies and gentlemen, pretty much sums up (IMO) every President's dilemma since this country was founded.

    LBJ was the President when I was born in 1964. If I had been born only 6 months earlier I would be able to say it was Kennedy which I would much rather say.
