Presidents of the United States

In honor of Presidents Day: James Carter was President the years Jeff (1978) and I (1979) were born.

I've never been much of a politics person so I couldn't tell you the first thing about any administration, but I love a good human interest story. I remember the Bushes (Dad and W.), the Clintons were.....well, memorable that's for sure.... and now Barack Obama - we'll see what happens. Although I may not agree with everything they say or stand for, I do believe they are great leaders who are here to do great things - not everything will be a success, but at least they're willing to do it. I'm not. :) Happy Presidents Day! Enjoy the Olympics too - GO USA!

James Carter was the President when I was born, I guess. Don't really remember, but the President I remember the most was Ronald Reagan. I remember standing in my parent's front room and watching him on TV. Great Post Alison!
