John F. Kennedy's Inaugural speech

During my trip to D.C. I got to see our presidents of the past and the quotes that they said going into office.


"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. 

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but together what we can do for the freedom of man.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own." J.F.K.

This was the youngest president to come into office. His speech rallied the american people and gave hope to them. This here is what the people of america and people of the world should being remembering. Without knowing this people have done the opposite and think what can America do for me. They don't care if they help America they just want themselves to be taking care of and are able to be lazy.

  1. This statement is very true Eric. We need to help America like free it from its debt or a chain of bad governmental figures. With recent president Barack Obama working to aid welfare and other programs that give handouts to people who can’t, or more often won’t fix their life for the better. Now we have Bernie peaking over a horizon of a new election he would do worse, more welfare, more taxes, and have everyone rely entirely on are government and not do anything for ourselves. Not to rant too much about the upcoming election since no matter what where in for a ride, but we need to get back to what America needs not what Americans need. For anyone who still disagrees think of it this way if we help America then America will help us.
