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 husbands while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head Now it gets really 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 Booth, who 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. | ||

Hey Crusty, I think Kennedy had it better because I would rather be with Marilyn Monroe that be in Monroe Maryland!  | ||

So how does Obama line up with this? Obama doesn't possess even a tenth of the Presidential capacities of either Lincoln or Kennedy. Whether on a Friday or otherwise. | ||

Anyone wants to talk about our President getting shot needs to find somewhere other than BadWeB to do so. Very uncool.  | ||

+1 and if I may add, we dont need to attract the attention of those whose job and duty is to protect the President | ||

Hey Spidey, No fair linking to facts and logic to ruin a good conspiracy. I do prefer snopes version though Lincoln was in Monroe, Maryland Kennedy was in Marilyn Monroe. | ||

Blake, you are right, I apologize and removed it. |
