I'm Thankful I was born during the Presidency of This Man

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. On his worst day, filled with painkillers and speed which he took to deal with

pain so severe most of us cant even imagine it, he was of course millions times better.

But, he was a patriot and hero and it was easier for him to not be a traitor. Started out in life with the same advantage the traitor had and look what he did with it vs the traitor.

Yes, there was some resistance in his WH to the civil rights movement, for sure, but it was 1960.

2. I'll second that!

[Iggo]

3. LOL...not me.

I'd rather have been born during the current one.

[Cal Tek]

8. Because.....

why?

[Iggo]

9. ...because then I'd have a crack at another 70 or 80 or 90 years.

10. Not if he freaks out and starts World War III

[Iggo]

11. Duck and cover, babe.

All of us born during the Kennedy administration lived our entire youth and young adulthood under the specter of "Oh my god!!! World War Three!!!"

I burned out on that shit years ago. I think most of us did.

EDIT: However, there was that moment at the end of Bush II when that bomber went missing. I went "hmm" for a little bit. So I guess I'm never completely over it...lol.

13. Kennedy was Sane

And a good rule of thumb for today is that volume of alcohol consumed should not exceed volume of food.

14. Always a good rule.

4. I was born days before Eisenhower was elected. I'd take him in a minute over trump.

I am fortunate to remember JFK and his presidency, however.

5. As am I

I was born the day the Cuban Missile crisis ended.

[ProudLib72]

6. I was born under this one

[GoCubsGo]

7. Me, too.

I was born four days after he was inaugurated.

12. I'm glad I was born under Eisenhower...

My hero!
