Actually I don't think it's true that this is the longest spell without an assassination attempt on a incumbent, former or elected president. I believe the last of the three assination attempts on Obama's life accured after he was elected. If you meant times when someone actually had a gun aimed at a president, then I cede to your obvious expertise.

"Attempt" in this case means an actual physical act directed against the target (as opposed to a mere intention or plan to act) and one which is verified by the U.S. Secret Service. The last such verified attempt was on March 30, 1981.

you realize the bubble top was not bullet proof, only used to keep the occupants of the car safe from rain and or the elements...check it out.

Indeed, that's always been the point I've stressed to others on this particular subject. The only way JFK would have consented to using the bubbletop would have been if it were raining, which it no longer was in Dallas by midday. Had it been raining and had the top been up, JFK still would have been shot since the top wasn't bulletproof. There's only way the top could have prevented his murder: if the assassin(s) had decided not to shoot due to incorrectly assuming that the top was bulletproof.

Allow me to tie one kangaroo down sport.

Prismaticmarcus, your country (Australia) has proved itself to be a great friend and brave ally of the United States for a long time. But, with respect, I have to say that not everyone agrees with your personal belief that the U.S. has lost its moral authority. Like everyone else, you're certainly entitled to that as your opinion, but not everyone shares it. Best wishes.

Johnny Roselli was flown into Dallas the morning of 11/22/63 on a CIA Military Air Transit (MATS) flight. Nobody seems to find it interesting that one of the head of the Chicago mafia was coincidentally flown into Dallas on such a flight?

Just for accuracy's sake, MATS stands for Military Air "Transport" (not "Transit") Service. We don't wish to turn this YouTube posting into a JFK conspiracy forum, but just to clarify: the Johnny Roselli claim apparently comes from someone named Robert Tosh Plumlee, who seems to have claimed that he personally flew Roselli in to Texas that morning for the purpose of trying to STOP what Plumlee apparently has claimed was an organized effort to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in Dallas.

The reason this isn't interesting is that is is utterly untrue...it's amazing how many idiotic notions there are about JFK's assassination! You hear the one about the limo driver? He's the one who REALLY shot him! ROTFLMAO!

Check out Vince Palamara's extensive Secret Service collection videos; he has footage of many of JFK's motorcades. In some the press car was apparently near the front (so they take photos of the Pres. -- duh). But yes it IS another unanswered oddity.

Hello there good friend from Australia, Would you be so kind as to provide us with your source for this info concerning the placement of the photographers' car in the Dallas motorcade?
