Some 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.
And! 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? Send it along. Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading..

Lincoln had two male secretaries, one named John Hay and the other Nicolay. I think no one's ever produced any evidence of a Kennedy. (I think I first heard this part back in the mid-1960s.)
The fact that Lee Harvey Oswald is now known by all three names has more to do with newspapers' habit of using all three names of just about any person accused of a crime, just because they're getting their info from the police blotter and don't really know which name to use. He went by Lee in everyday life.
Booth was cornered and shot in a barn, not a warehouse.
Marilyn Monroe died about a year before Kennedy.
Now for the real question: Does the inclusion of a sitting president at the end of the list, albeit with question marks, constitute a threat to the president under 18 USC Sec. 871? The Secret Service has detained people for less.
slogan, let us know if the feds come knockin' at your door.

As for bieng detained, well, just one phone call & I'd be out since I'm an insider. Besides, you think they'd really let me make a call?? And would you know if I was missing?? And would anyone care?? Okay, now I'm getting paranoid.
