Inaugural address Januar 20th 1961 John F. Keneddy: My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
On May 25, 1961 before a joint session of Congress. In this speech, JFK stated that the United States should set as a goal the “landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth” by the end of the decade. And we accomplished it using archaic vacuum tube computer technology and hydraulic controls.
In 1961 the threat to our country was the Soviet Union and nuclear proliferation and now it is our dependence on foreign oil and the Middle East. In 1961 we feared nuclear annihilation. Today the threat is not as in your face scary but just as real. Today we are slowly and methodically being brought to our knees economically. It is not too late to bring this economic annihilation to a hault and make our country great again but what we need is leadership. Which one Obama or McCain will give us a new charge and lead us through the next decade and away from our dependence on foreign oil? I believe we have the technology but what we need is the will and the leadership.
John F. Kennedy was yougest President and Bill Clinton had zero Senate experience and Henry Ford had a third grade education. The question is what takes a leader with vision?
