i am sure that some of you have heard all of these before…
look what happens when a President gets elected with a “0” at the end. 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 (died in office)
1960: JFK (assassinated)
1980: Ronald Regan (survived assassination attempt)
2000: GWB????
And to think that we had two guys fighting it out in the courts to be the one elected in 2000.
