The Carter inauguration.  While I have a few memories of the '76 election, I can't honestly recall Ford as President, just as a candidate. In any case, neither e nor my famly were all that interested in politics then.

Clinton.  I obviously didn't witness a single event of the Clinton administration, but my parents always had CNN on and Clinton's voice has always been in my memory.

I was born early on in the Reagan administration (April 1982), so my first presidential memories are of Ronald Wilson Reagan.  The first event I vaguely remember was his interactions with Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev and the beginning of the end of USSR.  I also remember the "Tear Down This Wall" speech in 1987, Chernobyl, the Challenger explosion, and of course the 1988 Elections.

Probably Bill Clinton, although I don't remember him doing much of anything.  I do, however, hearing the name "Monica Lewinsky" a lot on TV, although I didn't know anything about her.  I just liked how the syllables came together in a sing-song sort of way (give me a break, I was only five years old. Smiley)  In 2000, during Clinton's lame-duck period, I remember my first grade teacher showing us a picture of him and asking us what we thought he did as president.  I remember hearing my classmates say, "sit around and drink cola," and "sit around and eat meatloaf," which, knowing Bill Clinton at that time, was probably accurate.

Clinton. First PM though would be Mulroney, so, we're talking about a narrow frame here.

Clinton. My neighbor had this computer game where you basically beat up Bill Clinton, or dunk him in a shark tank, or something asinine. I remember he and his sons were showing it to me and my dad got pissed when he saw it (My dad's v. liberal) and he and our neighbor got into an argument over it LoL
