Look what happens when a President gets elected in a year with a "0" at the end.
Also notice it goes in increments of 20 years.

1840: William Henry Harrison (died in office)
1860: Abraham Lincoln (assassinated)
1880: James A. Garfield (assassinated)
1900: William McKinley (assassinated)
1920: Warren G. Harding (died in office)
1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (dies in office)
1960: John F. Kennedy (assassinated)
1980: Ronald Reagan (survived assassination attempt)
2000: George W. Bush ????????????

And to think that we had two guys fighting it out in the courts to be the one elected in 2000.


You might also be interested in this. Have a history teacher explain
this
if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat. Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker.......
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Save, research, then buy the best.Join the NRA, NOW!Teach them young, teach them safe, teach them forever, but most of all, teach them to VOTE!

    Oswald (allegedly) shot Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theater; Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and fled to a warehouse.

    You guys are about 40 years late with this thread. After Kennedy was eliminated these lists were done to death.

    ...And too bad the country already disintergrated under the leadership of Lincoln.Should have got him 30 years earlier.

    At the risk of being Flamed to a fair thee well, let me ask this.
    How many people here remember Jack Kennedy as a living breathing being instead of what Oliver Stone wishes he was in that piece of garbage, "JFK"?
    He was not a socialist and certainly not a communist to my way of thinking. Please don't judge the man with whatever frailties he may or may not have had by his brother Ted. I am convinced that if Jack were alive today he would spit on Ted Kennedy. I may be wrong, won't be the first time nor the last but remember who was gearing up to fight communism, To Bear Any Burden/Hardship?, To Challenge Any Foe Of Freedom. These are not the words of a man who never met a socialist program he didn't embrace, like Teddy.
