Obama the next JFK? I think not!

JFK: "The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God."

What a difference. Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country! The rights of man do not come from the state! Man holds the power to abolish all forms of poverty!

That does not sound at all like Mr. Obama 

Obama:

"The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works, whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.

Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward."

Ask not what you can do for your country (like pay your bills, be responsible, get a job, get good grades or serve your country), ask what your country can do for you (like bailouts, welfare, universal health care, tax rebates when you don't pay taxes)
