Part 3 >>
Then in 2:40 the film returns to the side shot of JFK and - surprise! - the car the man got into is gone. I mean, you know, it’s only the PRESIDENT giving a speech…I mean, you know, geez….

Part 2:
And then from 2:03 - 2:39 we see a shot from behind the president toward the audience and there are lots people walking around like it’s some kind of sporting event - one girl even goes running through an aisle in front of the president (2:15 -2:19) and you can even see the on-stage guests and university figures on JFK’s right looking at what’s going on - prob embarrassed.

Part 1:
I can’t believe how people were acting during the president’s speech! Between :55 and 1:14 in a strangely juxtaposed camera angle - a side shot - a man walks up to a car, unlocks the door and casually gets in - just meters away from the president as he’s giving the speech! What the crap! They should’ve at least put up a barrier between the President of the US and an open street. Very unprofessional. Part 2 >>

“So, let us not be …
“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. “

There still has never been an adequate Federal investigation of the high noon execution of President Kennedy. — DA Jim Garrison. If Obama is real, he will conduct a new investigation. My investigation shows Geo HW Bush, with a team of 66 CIA agents killed JFK. See the new video: You tube: paul8kangas

You’re right. Rather than a teleprompter, he was reading a printed copy of the speech on the lectern.

Executive Order 11110 is what got Kennedy killed.
And who seems to be at the center of all of current monetary woes? The Federal Reserve.

I think this speach holds the core concepts for what they asinated him for. Pardon the flip manner in which I mention his asination. Its never to be forgotten, and we must carry his message of peace.

There probablyv isn’t a week that goes by for these last 45+ years that I haven’t thought about Jack and what would he have done about this and that happening today.His untimely death and lost potencial still haunts us today.There is a great book out about Jack-a must read. It’s called Jack & Lem-the story of Jack’s best friend for 30 years.Lem Billings was a gay man-yet Jack remained his best friend with him from the day they met in 1934 until the day Jack died.How loyal and cool was Jack….

What a wonderful and thoughtful speech.
However, we should understand - the press ignored it at the time. Not front page news.
We only recognized the importance years later.
A lesson learned.

He was the best US President ever.
September 13th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Hands down the best …
Hands down the best JFK speech, it’s remarkable cuz u have to remeber what was going on at that time, the whole drama w/ the Soviet Union & a month later this speech led to a limited nuclear test ban treaty. Ted Sorenson and JFK were like siamese twins cuz they complemented each other very well.U had Ted Sorenson a radical pacifist speech writer and JFK a global visionary looking to build new bridges w/ americas enemies, it was classic. There will never be another duo like this again.

He made of himself the best we could ever hope to be. All of what he passed on to us came from just two years, ten months and two days. Those of us old enough to remember, will grieve over his loss for the rest of our lives.

Jack being a peace …
Jack being a peace maker certainly did make a lot of people in the Military Industrial Complex and elsewhere very unhappy. The fact is had he lived–he would have pulled of of Vietnam by ‘66–saving 2 million Vietmanese lives and 4/5ths of the 60k+ lives of Americans. There is no doubt that had Jack and/or Bobby (who would have pulled out in ‘70) lived–the world would have been a much better place to live. Ted Sorensen & JFK wrote some of the greatest speeches in American political history.

This was the speech …
This was the speech that effectively sealed JFK’s tragic fate.There were those there sitting listening to JFK who were squirming with rage and indignation.What was JFK saying?
Did he want some sort of accommodation or rapprochement with the Soviets? At best,JFK wanted merely an understanding but to those in US government,industry and military what JFK was saying here was treachery - or that’s what they thought.Was JFK selling out to Communism? Of course,he wasn’t but that’s what they thought.

Listen to these words Pres elect Obama….for you are the JFK of today….

What kind of a peace do I mean and what kind of peace do we seek? . . . I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living. . . Not merely peace in our time, but peace in all time. . .
