Some people believe that there is no such thing as coincidence, well, YOU be the judge.
Coincidence?
Abraham Lincoln and Kennedy, both Presidents of U.S.A. lived identical lives. There was a gap of 100 years between both the illustrious presidents of U.S.A. Each of them was extremely religious and had a firm belief in the tenets of Bible. Both of them worked for the progress of Negroes and other downtrodden people during their respective tenure. Lincoln had four children but only two of them survived. Same was the case with Kennedy, who fathered four children but unfortunately only two of them survived.
Abraham Lincoln became the President of U.S.A. in 1860 whereas Kennedy in 1960. The name of Lincoln's secretary was Kennedy while the name of Kennedy's secretary was Lincoln. The former could not complete his tenure and ruled only for three years because he was assassinated in 1863. Kennedy too met the same fate in 1963 and till then he had completed only three years of his tenure as president. The most amazing fact is that both of them fell down to the bullets of their respective assassins and the fateful day was Friday. Johnson, who was the vice-president of U.S.A. during Lincoln's time, succeeded him as president. Similarly, a person named Johnson was vice-president during Kennedy's time and he succeeded him as the president of U.S.A.
One more amazing fact about America is that any President who had successfully elected the elections after the interval of twenty years was not able to complete his tenure. The first election was held in 1860 and William Henry Harrison became the President of U.S.A., but he died of pneumonia within a month and without completing his tenure. After twenty years Abraham Lincoln became President in 1860 and he was assassinated and thus unable to complete his tenure. Once again after twenty years Garfield became President in 1880 but even he too was killed. Mackneele became president after twenty years i.e. in 1900 and even he was killed within six months of becoming President. Harding became President in 1920 and even he was unable to complete his tenure as president. Franklin Roosevelt became president in 1940 and he too was assassinated within two and half years of assuming office. Kennedy became president in 1960 and he was assassinated. Ronald Reagan was the only exception who in spite of winning the presidential election held in 1980 not only successfully completed his tenure but went on to become president for the second time. But, all this after he survived an assassination attempt made on him. George Bush jr. won the presidential election held in the year 2000. Let us see if George Bush junior is able to complete his tenure but one thing is for sure the things are not going to be smooth for him. Can all the above incidents be called co-incidences?
