Presidential History (nothing debate worthy)
PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY
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.

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.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a
warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a
theater.
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.
Creepy huh?
Some of it I heard before, and some not. Very interesting...thanks for sharing
I have heard the thing with Kennedy & Lincoln before. Freaky isn't it.
Interesting about the "0" thing. I now know not to run in 2020.
I have never heard of this.
Thank you soo much.
That is really freaky.
Wow that is so wierd. My dh is really interested in Kennedy and knows alot about him I will have to show this to him (if he hasn't seen it before). Pretty cool. Where in the world did you find this out at? That's so amazing!
Melissa, I got this in an email about 2 years ago and printed it out. This is so odd because I *just* looked at this today (without having seen your post)! I really thought this was so cool.
