In his Inaugural Address, Kennedy pledges to support liberty, commit to allies, avoid tyranny, aid the underprivileged throughout the world, and strengthen the Americas. Kennedy challenges Communist nations to engage in a dialogue with the United States to ensure world peace and stability. The speech is best known for the words: "ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."

January 20th, 1961

  • one of the handsome, young, intelligent, and talented presidents of the US

  • I think that great speeches like this one (and I have a dream and Mindless Menace Of Violence and so on and so), aren't based on specific programs that anyone wants to introduce, but by a general non-descript guideline that all people can at least understand if not agree with.

    There may also be some significance to certain speeches because of their rhythm and timing, a tactic that many leaders today just don't have anymore.

  • @bingoandbongo The Free market and free peoples are a better system because no one runs anything but their own lives.

  • @MissMelanie2006  communism is a good system if people knew how to run it... its an economic system as well for all of you that think a person is a communist.

  • @vergalechera Blame that Muslim spy in our White House like most blacks they win the lotto get 40 million and a year later are broke.They spend money like it grows on trees.Democrats spend money they don't have and are going to make the entire country broke.All except the ones running the country.This is how communism started.
