  • guys it was actually written by Kennedy high-school principle

  • @shanepkennedy WInston CHurchill said it in 1940, before some english dude said it in 1916, before that some roman dude said it a coupel thousand years ago. Not the words of JFK.

  • True words are true words. They were spoken to be repeated not buried, by men of conscience and courage. I don't care if he adapted it from Donald Duck. So fucking what!!!

  • Well, JFK "borrowed" it from Jibran Khalil Jibran's book "The New Frontier", in which he wrote: “Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country?”

    So I guess if you wanna accuse someone of stealing, you might wanna start by JFK!

  • JFK stole it from Khalil Gibran.

  • This is not stolen. This is reuse and reference. Why not if the speech is great? Words spoken by JFK is great and spoken by Sarkozy is foul? That is plainly discrimination.

  • Nobody should have an intellectual dictatorship over a certain set of values or principles. I rejoice that the leader of France, a country that help founded our independence, also shares the same sentiment that mr. kennedy had in this speech.

  • nothing wrong about it.

  • To bad this does not apply with America today.
