None of the above. However when I was growing up we would write the new President and ask for a picture and they sent autographed glossies. Really cool for a kid or teenager!

My favorite President was Jimmy Carter simply because he is a good man. I don't think he was a very good President per se.

I loved President Clinton.

ETA President Kennedy was President when I was born in 1962..but sadly not for long.

Saw Mike Huckabee when he was just a lowly pastor in Arkansas--didn't like him then, and still don't.

However, I have met our current Gov. several times, had dinner w/ and have met the Lt. Gov., flew w/ Sen Max Baucus (he flies commercial), stood in line at the grocery store w/ Sen John Tester and discussed the Carroll College Saints football team. Got to meet the outgoing governor and had her bring some snacks left over from her Christmas party to the Christmas party I was attending....it's a very laid back state I live in! The current Gov. walks to work, doesn't have a security detail (one state police officer typically). Senators Baucus and Tester are nice guys and very personable and well...just normal!

When I go to visit my son in Chicago in the future, I will make sure I go pass Obama's house.

DH has seen both Bush's. We live in Maine not too far from their place here. They would come to our little airport before heading to Kennebunkbport. Thankfully DH would warn me so I could leave in plenty of time for work because of security.

Johnson was President when I was born. I was born about 2 weeks after Kennedy was shot.

No to all the questions.

One of my former student's father was a secret service man for Ronald Reagan and his wife. Anther former student won an essay contest and was able to interview Clinton. One of the teachers from my school went with her.

No to all questions, except I did see the White House from the front fence in 1973, shortly before Nixon's 2nd inaguration. Eisenhower was President when I was born; however, John F. Kennedy received the Democratic nomination for President on my birthday - July 17, 1960!

Truman was president when I was born.
Saw Richard Nixon in a parade when the Orioles first came to town.
Saw John Kennedy when he was in a motorcade to an election speech

I might have seen George Bush's feet when he boarded a plane after viewing the flood damage here! lol
Herbert Hoover birthplace/library is about 20 minutes away. I've been there several times.
My son saw Bill Clinton while in office and shook his hand.
Favorite Pres: George Bush
Saw where Pres Kennedy was killed and stood on the spot where Oswald was shot too! We went there about a year or two after the assination. I was 6 or 7.
Not sure who was pres when I was born-I was too little to remember!!! lol It was Eisenhower.
No to the rest.

I met Bill Clinton in May 2006. I flew into Co*******n, DK to house hunt w/ DH. I was so freakin' exhausted from the flight, and he insisted that I hit the ground running. I took a shower, and we were on our way to meet ppl and search for homes. We were staying at this hotel, courtesy of DH's company.

Co*******n Hotel D'Angleterre - Slideshow - DK

When we were leaving, we noticed that the street outside was lined w/ ppl. A few of them had Bill Clinton signs. We then heard that Bill Clinton was also staying in the hotel. We decided to hang back in the hotel lobby (it was a small lobby) and wait for whatever. Secret service actually came up and asked who we were. I told them that we were guests in the hotel and they left us alone. A few minutes later, one Bill Clinton came down the staircase. As it was such a small lobby, there were less than a dozen ppl there. I kid you not, as soon as he hit the bottom of the staircase, he headed straight for me. He must have thought that DH and I were the token Danish couple. Imagine the look on his face when he introduced himself, and I put on my best Virginia accent!

I've never met any president. I've met Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, both of whom have the potential to be president or VP one day, though!

My uncle was a hot-shot with a pharmaceutical company and has been to the Clinton and Bush White Houses for dinners and also played golf with Clinton at Martha's Vineyard once.

Who was President when you were born? Nixon

In your lifetime, who was your favorite President? I like Reagan. He seemed down to Earth.
Not in my lifetime it would be Theodore Roosevelt. He had great vision to set aside land for future generations to enjoy it.

The company I used to work for had both Al Gore and George W. Bush come and speak while they were running for the 2000 election. I went to work the day Al Gore came, so I saw him.

When Bush was due to come, we were told by my the company VP that if reporters asked us questions, we couldn't say anything negative about Bush. So, I took a vacation day when Bush came.

I've been to the Kennedy library. JFK was president when I was born.

Have you ever been in the White House? Yes, while Clinton was in office. One of my closest friends works in politics in Washington and one of her co-workers arranged a private tour of the White house for my friend, myself, my friend's sister, sister's BF and their 2 kids. We had to get ok'd by the FBI before we could go and everything. It was awesome, saw the oval office and everything. We even got our pictures taken at the podium in the press room that is always shown on tv-the seats in there have little brass plates on them with the names of the newspeople that sit in them.
