i had heard some of this stuff
if it is all true
thats some ****

Okay, I have done a report about this so here goes.....

>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 (died 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.

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

There are at least 8 pairs of presidents who were elected exactly 100 years apart. The election cycle is 4 years. So it is statistically LIKELY that this will happen. If the attempt on Regan had succeeded then it would be another coincidence about him and Garfield.

>You might also be interested in this! .
>Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
>John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Given the age it takes to be president and the age one can be elected to congress, this is a consequence of the two being elected 100 years appart, this is another statistical liklihood. Lincoln only did one term in congress. Kennedy was elected a bunch of times.


>Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Uh, look at the real histories of both and you will see that their experiences with civil rights were quite different.


>Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
>Both Presidents were shot in the head.

The weekend is when the President attends public ceremonies and the like. The weekend is when these things happen. I don't know for sure but check on McKinnley's assassination. See when that happened?


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

That Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy is false. There is no record of this.

>Both were assassinated by Southerners.
John Wilkes Booth was born in Maryland. Not quite south.

>Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
That is a VERY common last name.


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

Again, given the age you need to be to hold higher office, this is a statistical LIKLIHOOD.

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

Booth was actually born in 1838.

>Both assassins were known by their three! names.

This is lame. When you become famous or infamous history often will call you by your middle name. Booth by the way went by just John Booth. That is how he signed his name.

>Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

See above.

>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."

Who do you think this model Ford was named after?

>Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

Oswald was assassinated after he was captured. Booth was shot by his pursuers.

>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.

This is funny. But can anyone prove Kennedy was with Marilyn Monroe.

>AND....................:

>Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...
>Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater...

John Wilkes Booth did not end up in a Warehouse. This was a BARN. Read a spy manual sometime, ya know where it suggests one hides from puruers? The movie theater. Speaking of which, Lincoln was shot in a theater showing plays, Oswald was caught in a movie house. There is a difference IMO.
