the by now-famous Tecumseh's Curse. I won't go into the details of how the curse came about. It's readily available on the net, if anyone is interested.

The curse gained notoriety when people noticed that starting in 1860, every president who was elected in a year 20 years apart, always died in office or was assassinated.

This trend went on for 140 years, until Ronald Reagan's 1st term in 1980. There was an assassination attempt on his life on March 30, 1981. The attempt was unsuccessful, and Reagan survived. His wounds were much greater than the media let on, and for a while it was touch and go.

So the curse seems to have ended with Reagan, although people have said that because of his Alzheimer's, he really did "die" a slow and gradual death. Others say that if it were not for modern medicine, Reagan would surely have died.

So what about Bush? Is the curse going to "skip" a president and wreak its revenge on him? Not if my calculations are correct. There's an interesting point about which term these presidents died in office. It seems to alternate between the first and second terms*:

1840 William H. Harrison, died in 1841 (1st term)

1860 Abraham Lincoln, died in 1865 (2nd term)

1880 James Garfield, died in 1881 (1st term)

1900 William McKinley, died in 1901 (2nd term)

1920 Warren G. Harding, died in 1923 (1st term)

1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt, died in 1945 (2nd term)

1960 John F. Kennedy, died in 1963 (1st term)

1980 Ronald Reagan, died in 2004 (assassination attempt in 1st term)

2000 George Bush (currently "serving" 2nd term)

*Jim Shawvan, who is an outstanding astrologer, has gone over this.

It seems like Bush had a greater likelihood of an assassination in his 1st term, if there's any kind of a pattern here. But I've read an overwhelming number of predictions which say that he'll a) be assassinated b) die in office of unknown causes c) Cheney will die in office d) Bush Father will die.
