John F. Kennedy, like no other. One of the greatest.

If our leaders could still speak so eloquently, this country wouldn't be in shambles.

Obama was a great speaker too. speaking eloquently isnt mutually exclusive with/without corruption

@@lincolnthomas2418 , you know, he really wasn't (our 44th President). Everyone keeps saying that, but he really wasn't. He was flat, forced, and, worst of all........parochially *boring.* You are right about the corruption with him. He was nothing like our 35th President (above).

The fact that people voted for someone like Trump makes me think that eloquence is not really a criteria

They don't make presidents like this anymore

When America was great!

Thank you President Kennedy. 🗽Respect. 🇨🇦

Came here after Biden referenced this speech in his address to our House of Commons just a few days ago!

Fun fact about this Speech and Presidential Visit: the part where he talked about the OAS, urging Canada to join it frustrated Diefenbaker because he had already told Kennedy he wouldn’t join it (we didn’t join until 1989). The part also where he mentions having Nuclear weapons in all areas of NATO would come to be a foreshadowing of a very tense moment in Canada-US relations. Later Diefenbaker had Kennedy plant a tree on parliament hill, an innocent enough gesture. But Kennedy threw his back out and because his back trouble was still a secret at the time Kennedy was angry about potential exposure. This permanently soured the relationship between Kennedy and Diefenbaker for the rest of their time in power. There is evidence that Kennedy even interfered in the 1962 & 63 elections in favour of Pearson. I think Diefenbaker forgave him in the end. He was going to send Kennedy a painting of the naval Battle of the Chesapeake and the Shannon just before Kennedy was killed. There’s a lot underneath those nice sounding words.

I see what you're saying here. But honestly I doubt..well I know JFK wasn't petty as such, to try to interfere with elections over his back being "thrown out" as it was always painful for him. Kennedy was against NATO so..I'll have to rewatch the comments about nuclear weapons... The painting was a very lovely gesture, if only it had a chance to have happened. ✌🏼

Eloquence and action. RIP Pres. Kennedy

America’s last President. May the dream never die.
