Delivered by John F. Kennedy at American University Washington D.C.

Back in the days when speeches were thought about, prepared, written, spoken. Instead of farted.

I never know how much credit to give to the speech-writer and how much to the public speaker. I presume that the basic message(s) come from the speaker, but often the reason why they are effective is the way they are presented - which comes from the speech writer.

Does anyone else see the irony is JFK's most quoted speech line..."Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country!"?

His political party subsequently went all-in on buying the votes of Americans with government cash and goodies. They MANIFESTLY ask, "What are you gonna do for me?" at election time.
