Look what happens when a President gets elected in a<br />year with a "0" at the end.<br /><br />1840: William Henry Harrison (died in office)<br />1860: Abraham Lincoln (assassinated)<br />1880: James A. Garfield (assassinated)<br />1900: William McKinley (assassinated)<br />1920: Warren G. Harding (died in office)<br />1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (died in office)<br />1960: John F. Kennedy (assassinated)<br />1980: Ronald Reagan (survived assassination attempt)<br />2000: George W. Bush ????????????<br /><br />And to think that we had two guys fighting it out in<br />the courts to be the one elected in 2000.<br /><br />You might also be interested in this:<br /><br />Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.<br />John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.<br /><br />Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.<br />John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.<br /><br />Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.<br />Both w ives lost a child while living in the White House.<br /><br />Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.<br />Both Presidents were shot in the head.<br /><br />Now it gets really weird.<br /><br />Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.<br />Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.<br />Both were assassinated by Southerners.<br />Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.<br /><br />Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln,<br />was born in 1808.<br />Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy,<br />was born in 1908.<br /><br />John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln,<br />was born in 1839.<br />Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated<br />Kennedy, was born in 1939.<br /><br />Both assassins were known by their three names.<br />Both names are composed of fifteen letters.<br /><br />Now hang on to your seat.<br /><br />Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."<br />Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."<br />Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.<br /><br />And here's the "kicker":<br /><br />A week before Lincoln was shot,<br />he was in Monroe, Maryland.<br />A week before Kennedy was shot,<br />he was with Marilyn Monroe.<br />and Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran<br />to a warehouse;<br />Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and<br />the assassin ran to a theater. Creepy, huh?
