JFK Assignation

John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States. He was assassinated on November 22, 1964 in Dallas, Texas while driving to another speech. JFK, his wife and the governor of Texas, John Connolly were driving in a convertible which was a terrible mistake. He had almost no protection from the hundreds of people around him. Anybody could have hurt him.

 Lee Harvey Oswald, who had defected from the Marines shot him. One bullet when through JFK’s neck and out his throat, the other went through the back of his head and into the governor. The governor lived, but JFK did not. Lee Harvey Oswald was never convicted because he was shot while being transported. Harvey was shot by a club owner named Jack Ruby.  

The Warren Report stated that there was only one shooter; although, many believed there may have been two. There were three shots, with two hits and one miss.  I have watched the video many times and it looks like the driver could have even been a part of it. Many people thought it was a conspiracy with Russia or Cuba. We don’t know for sure.

  • Me to I think he would have been president if he wasent killed he was like the best president becuase people liked him to much.

  • I agree to you drew I think he would be the best president if he was not dead he would have been president the next 4 years that how much people like him and they wanted him president for a long time.

  • He probably would have been president longer.  A lot of people liked him so I think he would have been.  I think there could have been more than 1 shooter.  It all sounds sketchy.  Especially if Lee Harvy Oswald got killed right away.  I have heard a lot of adults talk about how sketchy it was.

  • I think he would have been re- elected. based on the map people loved this guy. I belive that his death was a terrible thing, the people that lived during that time must have been so sad based on the way the loved him. I belive he was going to be one of the best presidents in the US.

  • I do believe that in my opinion he would of been re-elected. Everyone from that time period seemed to love him and what he was able to do in just that short amount of time and the way he was able to handle it better then most of all the other presidents. I believe that he would have been able to get alot more done if he wasnt killed and that it was something to do with Russia.

  • I do think that JFK would have been re-elected if it weren't for his assassination because he was very charismatic, and many people really liked him and his personality. I've heard of many different theories about his assassination, so it's hard to choose which one is the most believable. 

  • I definitely think that JFK would've been re-elected if he survived his assassination. He had many bright ideas that definitely would help the US. although we can never truly know what he would've done, it's definitely unfortunate that such a visionary wasn't able to truly flesh out his ideas.

  • I think John F Kennedy was liked by many people so I do beileve he would have won again and been president for a longer time. I think its very unfortunate that he was assignated because I think he would of done good things for out country.

  • I think he would have won again if he had not had been killed because a lot of people liked him and he was very likeable. My thoughts are that he was a very good person and should not have died because someone did not like him.

  • I do think that JFK still would've been re-elected if he hadn't been assassinated.  He was a very likable person and won pretty easily in the previous election.  The fact that he was taking so much effort in the days leading up to his death to visit several states and speak definitely would've helped him in the election.
