It's a sad thing that JFK was cut down. I don't think these words would ever come out of Obama's mouth, even though he is a democrat. What JFK would have said was truly inspiring and these words could be used today to bring hope to a nation that is truly in trouble.
Here are JFK's last words at end of speech he planned to give at Texas welcome dinner, Austin, night of 11/22/1963:
Neither the fanatics nor the faint-hearted are needed. And our duty as a Party is not to our Party alone, but to the nation, and, indeed, to all mankind. Our duty is not merely the preservation of political power but the preservation of peace and freedom.
So let us not be petty when our cause is so great. Let us not quarrel amongst ourselves when our Nation's future is at stake.
Let us stand together with renewed confidence in our cause -- united in our heritage of the past and our hopes for the future -- and determined that this land we love shall lead all mankind into new frontiers of peace and abundance.

I can see Obama saying that. He wouldn't actually MEAN it and would turn right around and do the opposite and put himself first followed by the dem party, but I don't doubt he would say it.
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." now that Obama would never say.
The murder of JFK wasn't just an American tragedy, it was a world one. I believe his time as President was making him a better person. He had grown much closer to his wife after the death of their newborn baby. He was also listening to wise advice from friends like Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
He would have won a second term with ease, and may be the tragedy of Vietnam would have been averted. We'll never know now. His great promise was never fulfilled, but he was a man of growing compassion and vision.
I had never read the speech he was to give the night he died. Reading it, I could almost hear his voice. It is enough to make me weep. There has never been a politician since his death worth a mention.

There is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there's the United States of America.
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.

Yet Obama has been nothing but petty and immature during his putative presidency. There are many examples.
