JFK Inaugural Address 2 of 2

"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 what together 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."
If only the Chimpster heed to JFK's speech.

Your so right SPB. Remember Bush is a baby boomer as all were influenced by John Fitzgerald Kennedy. But the key is reading and the Gerbil isn't finished with My Pet Goat. We were given a gift of knowledge and guidance by President Kennedy. I hope we have another leader with those qualities and wisdom. I count myself lucky to have lived while Kennedy was President. But his words will last forever.
