It was Nixon, in '73. Screwed up lots of things that year. Moved Daylight Savings Time up a couple of months (sound familiar?) too. This was in the wake of the Arab oil embargo after the most recent attempt to wipe Israel off the map.
The DST thing was, and is, stupid. 8-year-old kids at the bus stops 2 hours before sunrise.

And here in Indiana; we're on double daylight savings time since, thanks to Ditch Daniels, we now go on EDT when geography says we're in the central time zone.
I hate idiot politicians; repub, or dem.
