Later he was found, brought up, and then re-burried at sea

Isn't it?

Wow they're really strange coincidences

You got one detail wrong: Kenedy was in fact hit by two bullets, one in the head and one in the shoulder (which gave rise to certain complicated conspiracy theories as to the exact orign of the shots).

Wow thats very strange. Good find.

The shots went like this:

The first shot missed Kennedy, the second shot fired hit Kennedy in the back of the neck, at this point he grabbed his neck and Governor Connally was also shot but lived.

The second shot was the kill shot, when the bullet struck the back of his head, an interesting side not is that after the second shot to Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy climbed onto the rear of the limousine and tried to retrieve pieces of her husband. At this point she was is shock and later had no recollection of doing so.

I have read about the Lincoln Kennedy similarities

Wouldn't an even better comparison be FDR? I mean, he pulled the country out of the mother off all recessions, the Great Depression. That, and he won that other war. The really big one.
I still fail to grasp why he didn't win The Greatest American, by the way. but that is way off toppic, so I'll just add this: grassy knoll!

Woah....talk about creepy o_O
