  • Dislike this you are Communist. Dislike the Bush one you are a true American.

  • Yes, i think he was for peace, and not war. He never wanted to get involved with Cuba, but knew he had to protect us from the bomb somehow. so he went covert. it failed, but he was trying to avoid war.

  • Why is JFK's speech being used as comparison to W's day?

  • JFK #1

    Ron Paul #2

    FUCK THE REST.

  • @hehefromhere I wouldn't say it in quite that way, but I get what you mean. Two honest men with one mission.

  • Now that's a motherfucking BAWSton accent

  • 51 people are communists

  • @thebossstinks haha

  • He said: If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. He was right.

    I say: If a society WILL not help the many who are poor, it cannot call itself free.

  • "We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom"..

    gotta love that.

  • GOD BLESS YOU President Kennedy

  • GOD Bless America.

  • I am glad he gave credit to God.

  • Ask not what your country can do for you. President Kennedy shares the same Birthday as me and greatest President in American History and best Inaugural speech!

  • He was a hero in my college days, when Kennedy and the spirit of American people raised the hopes of people around the world.

  • JFK brought down by the enemy within-a small group in the CIA. The same killers who went into Cuba to bring down Castro, and the same team who set up Nixon to be brought down, for their own protection. The truth is finally out, and won't be silenced. They are exposed and are the killers behind the death of JFK.

  • JFK was a Democrat but he sure as hell was no liberal.

  • @1RadicalDreamer JFK was the last good Democratic President while Eisenhower is the last good Republican President... Man.

  • @CentristFiascox3 forgot Clinton? and possibly Obama if he gets a 2nd term..

  • Oak Hall

  • G.W.B messed up our country only if he had the slightest bit of intelligence then we might not be were we are today

  • This is a great speech and I wish we had more presidents like him. maybe this county would not be int he shape it is in today

  • He`d be a Republican Today.................

  • @MrAstroboy1997 no, if anything a libertarian

  • I, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, do solemnly swear, that I will be faithfully executed in the office of President of the United States...

  • I would have killed to be there watching this live.

    

  • it's amazing how we went from this address and Woodrow Wilson proclaiming we need to make the world safe for democracy to propping up dictators in the middle east, and allowing China to suppress it's citizens simply because of the cheap trade. truly a shame.

  • @duke35000 Very true. It's too much downslide for America of Lincoln,Wilson, FDR and Kennedy.

  • @gerjerrry99 You prove nothing with such incoherent obscenity.

  • the whole speech was good, not just the end part.

    the whole speech was a talk about peace and prosperity around the whole world, and how to make a world a better place.

    this is why he is one of my favourite political leaders in history, because he can talk AND do the business.

  • One of the greatest speeches of all time. His warning at 4:48 is now most critical

  • Here in France, we like President J.F. Kennedy. He came in Paris in 1963 with our President Charles de Gaulle !

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAH That is SOOOOOOOO fucking funny, how no one claps when he says that AWKWARD MOMENT 8:26

  • This video is sped up. He sounds like a chipmunk.

  • What an amazing speaker JFK was...

  • I love how brain dead rightwing nuts claim jfk as one of there own, when jfk was president the far right hated him because he refused to invade cuba TWICE!! once after the bay of pigs and the other time during th cuban missle crisis, he supported civil rights and he was getting us out of veitnam. he wasn't a crazy racist war monger like them so they hated him for it.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I really look up to JFK. Wish he was still around today.

  • President Kennedy was a great leder..... From Pakistan Karachi

  • There are 1776 likes. Perfect.

  • 48 people from NAM watched this

  • sad how JFK died, the government didn't elect john he was elected by the people RIP John F. Kennedy

  • @sbaker3232 if you had received an effective education you would know that The Bay of Pigs came from a CIA plan created by Ike, JFK went through with it out of his trust that Ike had the right idea, and Vietnam happened because Ngo Dinh Diem was elected president of South Vietnam through support of who? That's right Dwight D. Eisenhower!

  • Except jfk didn't bring vietnam.. we went to vietnam after he was shot.

  • This speech was a big slap in the face for Ike....and what did JFK bring us?? the bay of pigs...and vietnam

  • "And so my fellow Americans, ask not what you country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country." I think we have forgotten this as a nation.

  • Such an inspirational man. RIP Kennedy. You were a man far before your time. <3

  • i really want to know why jfk was assasinated, can someone tell why he was assasinated? and who is the mastermind behind the assasination.?

  • JFK is so badass. This speech makes me want to cry. So inspiring. The energy! The devotion! JFK lives in all of us who were inspired by his ideas. It is now our duty to work together for the freedom of man.

  • "Those who foolishly sought POWA by riding the back of the TIGA, ended up inside" I love it. JFK is so badass.

  • 48 dislikes. 48 years of a dead dream.

  • The Oligarchs control both parties, keeping the people divided on just about every issues, while steadily moving toward a one world dictatorial government where all aspects of human life are under their control.

  • JFK, the last true president of the US

  • Rest in Peace, Mr. President,

  • 48 non-humans disliked this

  • @rweerakkody4565 8 person sucked your dick.

    Don't use numbers like "X NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE JUSTIN BEIBER" comments, if someone disagrees with you: Shut the fuck up, and go away. You're also not fucking funny.

  • @rweerakkody4565 Lee Harvey Oswald disliked this video 50

  • bush fuked america up kennedy is the best and will be obama is just getting started

  • we need you Mr President Help Us

  • In a pinch for time? Skip to epic spine-tingling inspiration here: 12:23

  • guys.. stop using the comment section of videos to express your opinion on every damn thing , it is just getting weird now . :\

  • No politician today stands up for anything enough to get assassinated, an ironic, yet incredibly tragic state of affairs.

  • The real Democratic Party died with him on 11.22.63. The current Democratic Party does not look anything like the party that JFK led... RIP JFK...

  • Lee Harvey Oswald and 47 communists disliked this

  • There is a reason he was killed, he was one of us and not them. Little did people realise we were and still are at war, he was one of our soldiers for peace.

  • This speech brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.

    He was the definition of hope.

  • annnndd three years later he was Dead. 

  • Obama is nothing like JFK, he never will be. Obama is a pathetic excuse as a president.

  • Just as republicans led a national campaign to name highways, roads, airports, schools and make monuments fore Reagan..its is rather fitting that progressive continue do name more things in honor of JFK, but more than symbols, it necessary that we educate the youth on JFK's and Bobby's rhetoric and hope for the future

  • Barak Hussein Obama should listen to JFK every day to remind him what leadership sounds like and looks like.... This phony in the white house today has never led a company, has never served his country, yet he leads corporations through the Federal Reserve fake money and puts our troops in harms way.... What a phoney. JFK was a great man and a great president. His ideas of hope and change were real and he totally represents the conservative ideas and viewpoints of the Tea Party today....

  • @pcrandall1965 Yes. Obama declared war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Riiiiiiiiight. Your head must have been buried in a rock for 8 years.

  • @pcrandall1965 Finally, someone who agrees with what I have to say.

  • @pcrandall1965 Is this a joke? JFK was a Liberal.

  • @manicx12 you're wrong...back then democrats were like todays independents/libertarians. Todays Liberals and Conservatives are mindless puppets.

  • @manicx12 not your fualt, product of public school

  • @manicx12 Democrat does not mean liberal. JFK would be center-right in today's political spectrum. Educate yourself.

  • @PIAF22 Id call him more of a center. He was for medicare, yet also for lower taxes. His position on spending was somewhat keynesian(left), but so was Reagan (somewhat). His original civil rights platform was more align with the Center Republicans, who only thought segregation of public institutions was unconstitutional. This was in contrast to LBJ, who made it federal law that segregation was illegal also in private institutions (restaurants, businesses). Kennedy was a 50s liberal

  • Sure about him being a liberal. We will fight for freedom matter the means. The biggest spending in miltary ever, he took away more regulation from the market then put on it. "DO NOT ASK WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU BUT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY" erm yer liberals ask about social security health care sounds very right wing.

  • @pcrandall1965 Really? JFK never lead a company either. It's well known that he lived mostly being funded by his father, FDR's former Ambassador to Europe Joseph Kennedy.

    Also, I doubt that Kennedy, the man who originally proposed what later became Medicare, would have backed the Tea Party

  • I love President Kennedy. I feel as though he was one of America's only president who truly worked FOR the people and listened to what the people wanted.

    RIP Kennedy.

  • The last truly great president.

  • Wonderful Speech.

  • Well let's replace put in someone new in the next election think before voting and that party is not the same anymore neither party is but have to get who's in there now out Teddy Roosevelt one of the better presidents as well finished two terms like JFK should have but still rank 1. JFK 2. Teddy Roosevelt 3. Whoever wins the next election

  • JFK: The original hope.

  • Number 1 inspiring for aerospace and better future

  • One of the tragedies of the history of the world should have had two terms great leader best US president

  • Would have been right there voting for Kennedy but in this upcoming election we need to be like the sons of liberty and say "Don't Tread on Me" because Teddy Roosevelt, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin would not have agreed with what happened in 2008 to say the least JFK was the last good president

  • @rhersh2011 i don't think there's any disagreement that he was the last great president.

    which is really saddening actually, it's been 50 years...

    RIP JFK, sorry we wrecked everything you fought for

  • Even as a child, this speech still inspires me five decades later. Still one of the best moments in American history. And the day he was assassinated - the darkest day of my life.

  • The system is what we work upon. Our world makes us. I think we need to correct way of old. Re-build the system. Re-write the bureaucracy. Schools are no more besides the ones needed. It's home schooling or day-care centers with instructors below or just right outside the building. Cater to the parents so they can cater to the child. Make our world smaller, both people and government. Public transportation will lessen traveling.

  • R.I.P president kennedy. R.I.P

  • My hero, along with his brother, Bobby. Both men were too good for the job, and that is why they were both disposed of. The last President with any real balls.

  • And information technology

  • And better future

  • 1 John F. Kennedy was one of the only great presidents to inspire the younger generation which Generation Y could use right now

  • And aerospace, engineering, and manufacturing

  • “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.” John F. Kennedy and with Alexander Hamilton thought as well would be much better future

  • “The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.” John F. Kennedy

  • But a new JFK coin or bill would be really fitting as well a real hero in aerospace and generation Y with all the manufacturing as well inspired a generation and generation Y would have been very appreciative of John Fitzgerald Kennedy with futuristic energy sources and a better future which JFK would have provided that's a fact a real hero

  • Would make a really great impression on aerospace and engineering for generation Y and engineering not opposed to democracy just opposed to the current administration with Alexander Hamilton as well but JFK was a hero as was Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Edison, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy a hero as well best president I think would rate number 1 even over Teddy Roosevelt some are more Jeffersonian and some prefer Alexander Hamilton it's a matter of choice but Alexander Hamilton and JFK

  • Should actually make a bill that has John F. Kennedy on it and/ or JFK coins as well inspired the generation

  • With nanotechnolocy, nanosciences, energy, NASA, as well would have been able to give opportunities to the younger generation now Y and would have been a better time, a better place, and a better future

  • JFK was great leader wish things were better for the United States right now I would rate number 1 looking back influential really inspirational as a no president has come close to what he accomplished with NASA and before as well looking to the future under Kennedy's example for Generation Y should be very advanced very futuristic

  • JFK was the last good president wish we had him here for Generation Y he'd know what to do to for better future

  • america's last good president

  • @DF1234567 hmm. RONALD REAGAN,

  • @3dofanatic like I said, JFK, the last good president

  • "I am told you are the best we have, anywhere. You will need to be. Mr. Mason, take care of it."

  • @Krurnosai GODDAMN YOU I WAS GONNA POST THAT!!!!! fml lol

  • "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them" John F. Kennedy

  • Fowah suppah, I er ah wantah pahty plattah!

  • "Those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside." -JFK

    "Ride the tiger, you can see his stripes but you know he's clean" -Dio

    ...JFK wouldve known what he means

  • Go JFK, if i was alive in the 60s' i would have voted for you, but I'm Repulican

  • The greatest President. Long live the Republic of the United States of America. Defending the Republic from all enemies, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

  • best speech ever

  • how come top hats went out of style ?? just wondering

  • @Orlando2Vegas Thats because Craven Walker invented the Lava Lamp.

  • @Orlando2Vegas - Hats in general went out of style because of this very man. If you watch any television show or movie from the 1950s or earlier, nearly all men wore fedoras or, in the summer, straw hats. JFK didn't wear hats, and men stopped wearing hats because the fashion passed by the wayside because of JFK's lead. Now only if the necktie would go away!

  • there used to be a time where you could watch a great speech and not have it turn into a political debate.

  • @dz2011 AMEN, BROTHER, AMEN.

  • great speech

  • JFK was the last true President. Fuck the NWO.

  • Thank you Mr. President. God bless you.

  • yes i got it my assignment !!!!

  • using this for an essay :D

  • The only things that come to mind when I try to think of the accomplishments of this guy is the missile crisis and decreasing the value of the american by 30% over night. Great job.

  • obama is better he kill bin laden won peace prize pass health care law help help white ppl avoid bankrupcy rescue collapse economy helpe us win war in afgan agianst ppl responsible for 9-11

  • And you sir are an Idiot.

  • @samantha34ize first of all, 9/11 was def. not attacked that time so he cant do anything about it

  • @camp168

    @irrelevent100

    you guys are both fucking queers. shut the fuck up and go kill yourselves. fucking HOMOS

  • "Ich bin ein Berliner" - John F. Kenedy

    Because it had to be said...

  • the true test of an American Citizen is their ability to take a moderate stance. Moderation insists that one take each decision/view independently from the others. (eg; "never" raise taxes is a stance that is not in the best interest of the American people).... any stance that is rigid is wrong

  • @irrelevent100 you realize he saved the world from nuclear distruction, made peace with the soviets, and his brother was shot down in germany (as an american pilot)... he would have been an amazing president... i believe if you are a human being and you choose to fight you are a buffoon (unless to defend yourself) JFK had the best policy with the soviets and you can watch the speeches saying they loved kennedy, the U.S. generals wanted to go to war kennedy didnt, get ur facts straight (troll)

  • John F. Kennedy was our last true president. He warned the American people about the great machine of corruption. He trusted the American people to help expose the machine. Well, THEY KILLED HIM FOR IT!!! The American people did nothing about it because they where fooled.......

  • after watching this i wonder, what happened to us?

  • @irrelevent100 You ignorant fuck. Judge people, and especially public figures, not by their relative moral failures, but by their character, love for country, and accomplishments in life. JFK was a wise president who saved the world from nuclear destruction, and would have continued to serve our country greatly if not for his assassination. He was also young, cheated on his wife, and took drugs for severe pain. We're all only human, and we can't all be perfect.

  • It's appalling that the top comment on such an inspiring, historical speech is such awful, divisive crap. Troll elsewhere.

  • @irrelevent100 LBJ could've been the greatest president ever if it was wasn't for the war...

  • I, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, do solemnly swear, that I will be faithfully executed in the office of President of the United States by LBJ who will, to the best of his ability, destroy, stone-wall, and hide from the American public any evidence of the conspiracy.

  • now heres a democrat I could vote for

  • To say that he would have been the greatest president ever is a complete overstatement. The more likely outcome is that he would have overdosed/become extermely ill from all the amphetamines and pain killers he was on, or he would have been exposed by his many mistresses for the unfaithful man he was, thus ruining America's foreign relations and overall image. Its unfortunate he was killed, but the outlook was looking bleak for his future, he may not have made it to a second term anyway.

  • If that son if a bitch faggot that killed him wouldn't have... He would of been one of the best president US has ever had.

  • JFK was a boss.

    

  • Remember he said REPUBLIC NOT DEMOCRACY. WE are A REPUBLIC. Long live our REPUBLIC!

  • @darkshinobi317 it is a democratic republic dipshit

  • the last president before illuminati killed him

  • hes in call of duty black ops zombie mode the story they actually were able to draw him in a game

  • @MizzB97 He was one of the greatest men our country produced not a character in a video game

  • wow... so presidents actually acted upon the promises they made in their inauguration speeches once upon a time?

  • If Democrats were still like this I would actually consider voting for one.

  • @dbloch6592 everything is wrong with that capatalism has taken changes for the worst....

  • his accent wow<3

  • Comment removed

  • I wish he was our current president

  • hes on call of duty black ops

  • Back when Presidencies actually stood for something.

  • it's strange , because at same time the grand father "bush"  , prescott bush was condamned because he financed the 3rd reich during the war ,( nederland archive of 2001) and 40 years later american people decided to vote for "bush son" ....poor kennedy ! if he would known that !

    it's strange because in your country no media spoke about that ,i don't understand , it seem important , you should regret kennedy sure ! (sorry for my poor english grammar )

  • a communist killed him

  • "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country," one of the greatest quotes of all times.

  • Bush to Obama...from bad to worse. Every speech a stump speech. No leadership. What a waste of time; our country is going in the toilet and he hasn't the will or the skill to do anything about it other than to give more speeches, hold more town halls and photo ops. Jack was great...great and lucky. We'll never see his kind again.

  • I was a Bush supporter but I would trade 10 George Bushes for one JFK. I wish we could resurrect him and elect him to a life-long term.

  • No other U.S. President ever could measure up to JFK's charisma and mystique since then... perhaps, never again -

  • I like his speech too koukouasaasa! I have watched 9 presidents and their speeches and Kennedy's is by far the best!

  • he was a good prez

  • Where's McNamara?

  • I'm Japanese high school student.

    I'll have to store this speech. And, I'll have to write it after summer vacation.

    If I cannot write it, I'll have to speak it at my classroom....

    I'll stick it out!

    Finally, I like J.F.K. and this speech very much.

  • Comment removed

  • @RUMELSKIN Besides your disgusting call for assassination-- paging Secret Service!-- this statement is nonsensical in how little people realize about the political trajectory change in America over the last 50 years. Obama, politically, is way to the *right* of Kennedy. Or Eisenhower. Or Nixon. Or Truman. Etc.

  • @JeremyWBlueDuck37 I hate assholes like RUMELSKIN who threaten the prez. I see them all the time who think they can hid behind a computer screen from the FBI and USSS.

  • 'For those who sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside'--- This is a chilling line. These words came back to haunt the Kennedy's in 63 and 68. A heavy price was paid for RFK's mafia wichhunt, the same mob whose support won JFK the white house by a hairline margin.

  • a good president murdered by a communist
