This could be fun. On the day you were born, who was the POTUS? You then have to rate that President and state what was good and bad about them.

The POTUS when I was born was Ronald Reagan, very late in his second term. A few months later, Bush Sr. was sworn into office. But it was Reagan when I was born, so that is who I will rate. On a scale on 1 to 10

Reagan: 7/10

Good: Helped end the Cold War

Bad: Reaganomics, Iran Contra affair

Gerald Ford

quote:

Domestically, Ford presided over the worst economy in the four decades since the Great Depression, with growing inflation and a recession. In one of his most controversial acts, he granted a presidential pardon to Nixon for his role in the Watergate scandal.


ETA: Nevermind, mine was Carter also. When does life begin?

JFK was president when I was born but I'm not really sure how to rate him. I've heard all kinds of stuff about his death but not so much about his time in office. Part of that is I've never really studied it

Nixon was actually a pretty good President. Just power hungry and paranoid. Take away Watergate which looks quaint compared to present day corruption and he was a decent President 6.5/10.

My grandfather believed so as well. While I believe the Mafia and Carlos Marcello played a part, I have no doubt that LBJ was involved somehow
