Now what Indian was it that laid that curse? I forget. I'm not into laying hexes or any of that hocus-pocus, obviously, but I'm just curious.
Legend has it that, after the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, the Shawnee chief Tecumseh sent Gen. William Henry Harrison a message. Delivered by released prisoners, the chief's words are supposed to have been a prophecy that history has labeled "Tecumseh's Curse": "Harrison will not win this year to be the great chief. But he may win next year. If he does ... he will not finish his term. He will die in office."
"But Chief Tecumseh, no president has ever died in office," one prisoner reportedly argued. "Harrison will die, I tell you," Tecumseh is said to have insisted. "And when he dies you will remember the deaths of my people. You think that I have lost my powers: I who caused the sun to darken and red men to give up firewater. But I tell you Harrison will die. And after him, every great chief chosen every twenty years thereafter will die. And when each one dies, let everyone remember the death of our people."
Thank you, you're one of a kind, someone who isnt blinded by a particular party, seeker of the truth.

You know, I wonder how many people think I'm a liberal because I'd love to see Bush impeached.
Trust me, I'm a conservative. I'm just one that knows better.

I've voted Republican, and i've voted Democrat- I vote for the best person for the job, and if dissapointed in my choice, like you, i would own up to it

No 0 year elected president since 1840 has ever left office alive, except for Reagan.

but openly discussing good opportunities for assassination plots is way over the top.

I'm all for free speech on the internet and elsewhere, but posting a thread such as this is totally outrageous. It's one thing to disagree with a president and/or their policies, but openly discussing good opportunities for assassination plots is way over the top.
Please exercise some common sense and remove it.

So far I have seen more plans for protest at this years inauguration of the president than in any of the past elections.

The above site contains a list of all the protests. With all the protests it would be a perfect opportunity for an assassination if one were to occur.
No 0 year elected president since 1840 has ever left office alive, except for Reagan. Some say that Reagan survived his assassination attempt because of the astronomical alignment being in a favorable sign. But now that sign has passed and most likely any assassination attempt would be fatal.
