Basically, here's how.

Me->My dad

Since I know my dad. 1 degree.

My dad->Ehud Barak

Since my dad met Ehud Barak once. 2 degrees.

Ehud Barak->Bill Clinton

Since they met. 3 degrees.

Bill Clinton->JFK

Since they met. 4 degrees.

Thus I am 4 degrees away from JFK. Hope that makes sense.

Me -> My grandfather -> JFK

Or, if meeting at under a year old doesn't count, insert any family member who knew my grandfather between him and myself.
