    Both presidents were also opposed to a 'central bank'.
    Conspiracy theorists say they were killed because of that opposition.
    It is rumored that Kennedy was at least a proponet of ending the Federal Reserve, if not actively looking at the endevor.

    Wow... that site was so condescending and sarcastic about the similarities that it makes the similarities even more impressive when it downplays them!

    They knit-pick each one, declaring most true, but then saying things like "the children died while in office, but of totally different reasons"... Well, DUH! The list of similarities never said they died of the same cause! Almost every one that was true was knit-picked in this fashion, as opposed to disputing the truth.

    Like the one about being killed on Friday, they say it's true, but since there are only 7 days in a week, it's hardly notable... Yes, it is notable when you see all the others, most of which are true.

    The main one that was factually disputed was Lincoln having a staff member named Kennedy, but the other half, Kennedy having a staff member named Lincoln is true and novel in it's own right.

    I could go on and on about their snide wording and verbal gymnastics to downplay coincidences, but I'll spare you.

    There are a couple of inconsistencies in this; however.

    John Wilkes Booth hid and was found in a barn, not a warehouse. He was also not assassinated before trial, he was killed by Army troops when he barricaded himself in that barn. The barn was set on fire to try and get him out, eventually it ended with him, and several soldiers, dead from the stand off.
