both were assassinated in '63 both had vice presidents named johnson some other stuff
But: "A more recent examination by Snopes.com found that the listed "coincidences are easily explained as the simple product of mere chance."[4] In 1992, the Skeptical Inquirer ran a "Spooky Presidential Coincidences Contest." One winner found a series of sixteen similar coincidences between Kennedy and former Mexican President Álvaro Obregón, while the other came up with similar lists for twenty-one pairs of US Presidents." |

Even if you had irrefutable evidence to prove this it changes nothing about the similarities the nice fellow above "borrowed" from a certain site. |

Yes, yes. We all bask in your glory. My apologies for not knowing the exact date of an assassination of a foreign president. Go stroke your ego elsewhere. |

I think you're mad, I'd give you some Tylenol to ease your pain but as you can see, we're on a forum on the internet.
Also it's literally 1st grade knowledge that President Lincoln was killed in 1865, plus most people here are American. |

| The date of his assassination is 1st grade stuff, not hard to know at all. It's as hard as knowing what year the U.S landed on the moon.. |
