7. JFK and Clinton

I would have seen Kerry but the only press coverage in my area was vague at best.

[CO Liberal]

8. Clinton & Nixon

I saw Clinton in Pueblo in 1996 when he was running for re-election, and got within ten feet of shaking his hand before I was pushed away by the crowd.

In 1969, Nixon came to Morristown NJ to campaign for Willism Cahill, who was running for governor. I gave both of them the finger as the presidential limo drove by.

[Lefta Dissenter]

[On the Road]

12. Cater at a Book Signing

and yes, he signed my book.

[Rowdyboy]

13. I yelled obscenities at Richard Nixon in a motorcade in 1974

Shook hands with Jimmy Carter in 1976 (before he beat Ford), and saw Clinton speak in October 1992 (also before he became president)

[argyl]

18. Did the same to Nixon in 1970. Saw Smirk's limo going by in 2002.I was in

the "Free Speech" zone on the SMU campus.Saw Nixon at Market Hall in Dallas.

[Rowdyboy]

28. In the final sring before he resigned, when he was despised

everywhere, one of the few places he could still get a decent crowd was Jackson Mississippi. We couldn't get into hear him speak, so I stood around with my friends and my favorite prof and waited for the limo. I did get to see him, briefly, and was so angry I could barely focus.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Clinton,

[TNDemo]

15. Gore. When he was senator

he used to do these town meetings, which were very small, in different communities. I went to see him around 1989 and was just amazed at the quesions he could answer on almost anything. Shook his hand. We went to see him announce Lieberman as his running mate (people dropping like flies from the heat).

[Endangered Specie]

16. Carter.

[Sticky]

17. President and Mrs Clinton

When they arrived in Halifax for the G8 Summit. They were adored here and the crowd was wild with excitement.

Ahhhh.... good times. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

19. I shook President Carter's hand.

I was in a crowd that greeted him at the airport. I was about 8 or 9.

[truthspeaker]

20. None while in office. Clinton during the 1992 campaign.

Carter and Mondale (long) after their terms were finished, at a Macalester College commencement.

[ThoughtCriminal]

21. NIxon

Came to our southern town late in the 2nd term. He was trying to find a friendly crowd.

[northzax]

22. while in Office?

Raygun, Bush I (who knew we'd once think of him as the 'good bush'), Clinton, Gore, Bush II (inaguaration and multiple motorcades)


does flipping the Bird to GW from about 20 feet away while he was riding down Independance last week count? yes, I know he saw me, the tourist next to me were waving, and he waved back.

[dryan]

26. My list

Johnson - twice
Humphrey - once
Carter - 3 times - twice when he was running and 1 as president
Clinton - I think three times - twice when he was Governor of Ark. and once when he was running for President
I also saw Adlai Stephenson when I was a very young child

[capriccio]

24. JFK

and I once caught a dumbass cokehead picking around in my garbage...could've been Bush. Hard to tell, though. It was dark.

[DieboldMustDie]

25. I was within 15 feet or so of Poppy at Logan Airport in 1980.

I was flying to Chicago; I'd guess he was en route either to or from Kennebunkport. Probably could have walked over shaken his hand, but didn't really care to. Also saw Reagan in 1984 in Boston's City Hall Plaza.

[quisp]

27. Carter and Clinton

I met Jimmy Carter when I was 12 years old. He had been on subs in the Navy with a man up the street. He was governor of Georgia at the time. He threw the football and played kick the can with the neighborhood kids.

I met Bill Clinton when I was a sound technician working freelance in Baltimore. Talk with him for about 5 minutes. He's a really nice guy.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

29. Clinton and Gore

Saw them at the Midwest Inaugural Ball in 1993. If and when Kerry is elected, I can say I saw him too (at the Pitt rally last month).

[TrogL]

30. I'm adding Prime Ministers

Trudeau
Chretien
Martin

also Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan (talked to her on Saturday)

[PartyPooper]

33. Clinton in '92 & twice in '93.

[LonelyLRLiberal]

34. Clinton and Gore - Election nights 1992 and 1996

I was in the huge crowds in front of the Old State House in Little Rock on both Clinton/Gore election nights - wall-to-wall people, media from all over the world, people selling t-shirts and political buttons - lots of fun. Wish Clinton could run again - he'd win.

[ronnykmarshall]

35. Fantastic

Both nights were so exciting for me. To be there in person must have been a thrill.

[LonelyLRLiberal]

43. Was a thrill, but this year a Kerry win will be great, too

even if I can't be there in person... Got a call today from the state Democratic Party looking for Kerry volunteers - we appear to be one of the swing states, so maybe we can be the deciding electoral votes.

[UrbScotty]

36. President Gore.

Elected President Gore, that is.

I saw him at a rally about a month before the election.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

37. G.W. Bush

I saw him speak the day after the infamous SOTU "axis of evil" speech. Very few minorities there, or few dems for that matter. I got to boo Jesse Helms in person!

I also remember seeing Hubert Humphrey when I was small.

[Bluzmann57]

39. Clinton, Gore, Reagan, Ford, Carter

Even attempted to buy Clinton a beer, but his agents told me no. I did shake his hand though. He was campaigning in the Village of East Davenport at the time and it was raining so he went into a drinking establishment to meet some of the folks. The others were visiting for various reasons. Reagan was raised about 60 or 70 miles from here and used to work for a local radio station. WAAAAAAAAY before my time.

[Fenris]

40. Gerald Ford - celebrity golf tournament

[beyurslf]

41. Gore. Met HRC and have my pic and she signed my book.

Kerry after Nov. if he chooses Clark as VP add him.

[MrScorpio]

42. Reagan and Pappy Bush

I saw Cheney when he was SECDEF from my days @ the Pentagon
