History Lesson
AJB you might like this one you are the politics King............
And to all who may want to know some info about our history.....It is weird...I tell you....
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 their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head. Now it ge ts rea lly 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 Bo oth, w ho 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.' Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater. 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. Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause: Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading

I know about Teddy R.......Can you guess....TEDDY!
John Hinckley, Jr. (usually when white guys shoot somebody, the media uses all 3 names...but whatever) shot U.S. president Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981 as Reagan departed the Washington (D.C.) Hilton Hotel after making a speech. Reagan was severely wounded, as were his press secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty, and Secret Service agent Timothy J. McCarthy.
Hinckley was subdued and arrested on the spot. Investigators discovered that Hinckley was obsessed with actress Jodie Foster and had been trying to impress her. (Foster had starred with Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver, a 1977 movie about a crazed loner stalking a presidential candidate. Hinckley had reportedly seen the movie more than a dozen times.)
Hinckley was tried for the crime in 1982 and found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was placed in St. Elizabeths psychiatric hospital in Washington, D.C., where he remains indefinitely.
In 1999 Hinckley was allowed the right to supervised visits outside the grounds of the hospital. In 2000 he was allowed unsupervised visits, but this right was revoked after a book about Foster was found hidden in his room.
In December 2003 he was allowed to have unsupervised visits with his parents, outside the hospital grounds.
