You should believe that every assassinated President was good. President Kennedy's family has made him into a godlike figure, but I was around then, and I did not care for the things he did. The Bay of Pigs fiasco would have been enough to make him a bad President as far as history goes, and made the Russians feel they could put missiles in Cuba, which he then had to take out. To his credit, he made the Russians blink, but unless you were living then, you cannot appreciate the fear of a nuclear war that we all felt.
Lincoln originally was opposed to freeing the slaves. He came around for political reasons, not personal belief. He had a problem getting the army to do what was needed and was no inspiration for the troops in the civil war.

Probably because there's no money to be made by corporations off of a good president. They need someone to scratch their back, and they can't have people's problems fixed because it gives their employees more time to realize that they're underpaid and get treated like $hit. Just one suggestion.

The "Zero Factor" stopped when President Ronald Raegan wasnt killed in office.
A local radio program was detailing all this, (and I was in fact, quite suprised to learn about it), about what Presidents were killed when they were elected on a date that ended in Zero...
I wish you well..

I think it is selective memory I'm sure some of the ones that didn't get killed was just as good ...but the ones that did we only remember the good things.

Plenty of good presidents did not die in office (which ones are left as an exercise to the reader :)

Your question makes me wonder how screwed up is the education system in the U.S. for people to not have any idea of history, reading, math, etc.

the trick is to get killed before the public decides that you are a dumb ***
