Lincoln – Kennedy Coincidence

I haven’t seen this in a while…..

Lincoln KennedyAbraham 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 children 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 .

KennedyBoth 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.

  1. JFK has been accused of many things but this is the first time I’ve seen him accused of necrophilia. Monroe died in 1962

  2. X Lincoln never had a secretary named Kennedy…his 2 White House secretaries were named Nicolay and Hay.

    X John Wilkes Booth was not born in 1839…he was born May 10th, 1828.

    X JFK was killed November 22, 1963…Marilyn Monroe died Aug 5th, 1962…over a year earlier.

  3. who the hell cares… how do we get bush in a Lincoln going to ford theater to sit on a balcony… plus how do we draw a bulls eye on his head????

  4. Leno…I’d like to know how to get bush in any kind of car. But the shifter always gets in the way, and there’s not as much room in the back seat as there used to be.

  5. Here’s a couple you missed.
    Strange but true, both Lincoln and Kennedy lived and worked in the same house and NEVER met.
    Lincoln once lived in his father’s log cabin, and Kennedy once spilled log cabin in his father’s lincoln.
