CBN.com - Nationwide prayer has been urged to protect President-elect George W. Bush from the so-called former "Zero-Year Curse" on the White House. Intercession leaders are calling for "reaffirming warfare prayer" over the supernatural link they believe was behind the death in office of seven presidents.
Tenskwatawa, the brother of Shawnee Chief Tecumseh, recognized as a "prophet," is said to have placed a death curse upon Gen.
William Harrison after being defeated at the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe in Indiana. Bergel said that Native American lore recorded that Tenskwatawa decreed that "Harrison would one day be chosen as the Great White Chief, but he would die in office, and after him, every Great White Chief chosen every 20 years thereafter would die."

The story of Tecumseh is really a sad one. But if he had been a little bit more successful and had prevented his brother from convincing the rest of the indians that the White Man's bullets wouldn't hurt them in the next battle, we'd likely all be living on the east coast of America right now.

This presumes God gives a twittle-de-de about these shiney suit slime balls of Christendom or who is president of any country.

Got mit us. God did not seem to be with them.
