My first clear memories are of Carter.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Clinton. I remember Hillary more than I did Bill, however.

[dead0man]

Carter....we stopped by his home town during a vacation, I have a vague memory of his home and jokes I didn't get/don't remember about Billy.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Bush. During his second election, I really wanted him to win, just because my Dad and my classmates liked him.
I was quite happy in the morning after the election.

[Mordecai]

Dubya.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Yeah, Bush II. I was alive for Clinton's entire term, but a Canadian eight-year-old doesn't generally hear much about the president. I suspect it would be different if I went to school in the US, as I definitely remember knowing about Jean Chrétien before January 2001, but American politics never factored into my life much.

That being said, I do remember playing around at recess shortly after Election Day 2000 and hearing how close the results were. I didn't appreciate the significance at the time, but the words "Bush" and "Gore" seem awfully familiar. I remember thinking it was hilarious that a president was named after a bush.

Clinton.

[Dr. Cynic]

Bush 41. I can still remember as well going in 1992 to watch my mom and dad vote as a very interested 4 year old.

[Frodo]

I think it was the Gulf War that first really made a not-quite-eight-years-old me aware that he was my President.  Until then I was oblivious of him.  

[DINGO Joe]

Even though I was 5, and really had no comprehension  of what was going on,  I definitely remember the Nixon  resignation.  I liked Ford.  He fell down a lot and looked like a muppet.

[morgieb]

Bush II.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I have a very vague memory of the first Bush being elected. He wasn't President yet but I didnt know who Reagan was so Bush I.

[Indy Texas]

GHWB because when I was little, my parents wanted to make sure I understood basic current events and would ask me questions about who major public figures were and I was expected to know the answer. And one of the questions they'd ask was who the president was and at the time it was Bush 41. Also because Barbara Bush once hosted some event at the country club my family belonged to and because a lot of our neighbors went to the Republican National Convention when it was held in Houston in 1992.

I vaguely remember President Clinton. I was almost 7 when he left office.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Wow, you two knew each other as kids!? Did you go over to Oklahoma to play with him or did he come there?

Man, the Bush(ie) name is so toxic. Not because of Dubya, but because of a certain honorary Kenynan.
