I was in Berlin in when Kennedy gave his speech. The Berliners loved Kennedy, he was a light in the darkness. We have fallen so far from statesmen like FDR, LINCOLN, JFK. May this country's citizens vote to restore dignity and honor in 2020.

Kennedy had an IQ of 150.6 and he referred to Ted Sorensen (Speech Writer and Special Counsel to the President) as "my intellectual blood bank" Think about that. Ted was a very gifted writer and should be remembered.

Don't demonize your adversaries. Something the politicians of today would be well advised to strive for - although the ones that use it for propaganda purposes won't. I went to AU and this speech was always talked about. It was great to find out so much more about it. Also I am in love with this somewhat famous JFK quote from the ending of the speech: ― John F. Kennedy

For some reason the speech will not save: “So, let us not be blind to our differences--but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.” ― John F. Kennedy

What do you remember most of JFK?

What I remember most of JFK,as a very young girl,growing up in India, no tv in those days in south India, that He was captivating & his persona, his charisma were all befitting for the great ,grand post he held-leader of a super power,the pictures that came out in our newspapers were being sold out too,he was liked by ALL! It’s later when I heard his speech,on UTube, I was awe struck,sad too, that his life was cut short, very sad. Also, JFK had some Class, dignified & diplomatic ! Best, from BC
