Since the years of George W. Bush, even if then I was way too young to do anything.

And if arguable: dimly aware of the fact a president existed when Bill Clinton was president. But at that point I was more interested in stomping about the creek and catching snakes in the woods when not playing Age of Empires 2 to actually pay one iota of attention to anything.
