Question: Under what president did you become politically aware?

Advertisements [?]

OK, quit making "under the president" jokes!

But seriously, who was president when you first started paying attention to US politics?

Optional followup: Do you think his presidency affected your personal political outlook?

In my case, it was Reagan who served from the time I was 10 until I was 18. I started paying attention in about 1984. I remember I couldn't believe he was getting re-elected. I'm curious if early experiences in the Reagan years helped to shape my long-term views. Things like that fascinate me, so what the hey, please answer if you feel inclined.
