cptwright 1 Posted April 12, 2004 Look what happens when a President gets elected in a year with a "0" at the end. 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. 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 a child 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. 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... what a coinkidink eh?

Jim Phaserman 0 Posted April 12, 2004 I've seen that. One theory I've read about why Dubya hasn't had an assassination attempt or been knocked off yet is because Reagan survived his, and broke the curse. However, maybe (Please stop me from cursing) Chaney will die in office. and it is odd, reading about the Kennedy and Lincoln assassinations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 12, 2004 Look what happens when a President gets elected in a year with a "0" at the end. Well There's some flaws there. Anything can be made to fit things like this. Lincoln was indeed elected to his first term in 1860 but was re-elected in 1864. So hid 1860 Presidency was over. Franklin Roosevelt was indeed elected in 1940 but was also elected in 1932, 1936 and 1944. Again he died in 1944 so his 1940 Presidency was over. Without going through all of the others it wouldn't surprise me to find other inconsistencies in the "Zero Year" theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
