POTUS Dots from Eisenhower to Kennedy to Johnson and Nixon to Ford and Carter to Reagan …

41st POTUS, George Bush Sr. (1989 – 1993)
Was working for the federal
government in Washington, D.C., at the time. Bush Sr.'s years in office
as POTUS – 1989 through 1993 - coincided with a time of personal crisis
for my husband, my young children, and me. Because of our “present
distress”, didn't really focus much on what was happening in the world
of politics, except if it was a “Bush agenda item” that was in some way
work-related. Do remember that the campaigning FOR the presidency took
on a ruthless and vicious tone. Once elected, however, Bush Sr. said
something about being glad it was over and moving toward “a kinder and gentler America” .
You'll have to ask him directly where he was coming from with that
statement. Recollections of that time period in my life are very blurry.

42nd POTUS, William Clinton (1993 – 2001)
People say things got much better
for the general population during Clinton's years in the Oval Office.
Sadly, only thing that pops out of my memory box is a brew ha ha
about him getting a B.J. from a White House intern and cries for his
impeachment. And … uuummm … ??? Oh yeah! Lots of Saturday Night Live
comedy skits.
Around about the same time, things
did start getting better for my family and life was becoming less
stressful and distressful. But the changes or improvements can not be
attributed to whoever the leader of the nation was. It's the leader of
the Fox family who gets full credit for turning things around. We
weathered the storm with my husband at the ship's helm and he steered us
through perilous and treacherous “waters”.
We passed through and survived to meet and greet POTUS Number 43. Next!
