This is one of those WTF things in life, and it has to do with Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln and the weird parallels in their lives . It means absolutely nothing unless we can connect President Bush to it BUT it’s fun to read… and go “ohhhh wow wtf?!”… enjoy

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 first ladies lost a child while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

And the plot thickens……

But wait there's more ! Both assassins had and used three names, and both of their names had a total of 15 letters.. go on count them then read the rest of the post….

Lee Harvey Oswald / John Wilkes Booth

I can hear the theme from the twilight zone now….
