John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address, Today Big G [Google] released a new doodle Wednesday night to recognize John F. Kennedy inaugural address. Mr. Kennedy was inaugurated 50 years ago.

The doodle shows a word cloud of the speech of Mr. Kennedy, including an illustration of Mr. Kennedy, who forms the famous “Google” logo.

“It is interesting to see the sketches and illustrations in various Google puts together,” Bill Richardson, a resident of San Francisco, said Politically Illustrated. “It’s their way of competing with Bing eye candy every day.”

The inaugural speech of Mr. Kennedy was most notable for his line: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”

PASSAGES OF NOTABLE

– “… The belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.”

– “Let the word go forth … that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans.”

– “Let every nation know … we’ll pay any price, bear any burden, meet any difficulty, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty. ”

– “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.”

– “Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. ”

– “. Only when the arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be used”

– “All this will not be completed within 100 days. It will not be finished in the first 1000 days, or in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our life on this planet. But we begin. ”

– “… Let us move forward to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and help, but knowing that here on the work of God’s earth must truly be our own.”

Maybe JFK was not a Democrat today, exactly 50 years after delivering his inaugural speech.

Mr. Lieberman told supporters in Hartford that his commitment to public service was inspired by John F. Kennedy – who presented his “ask not pas”discours on January 20, 1961 – and that his views remained in line with the assassinated president.

But Mr. Lieberman, who was ousted from the Democratic Party in 2006 when he lost his Senate primary, then was reelected as an Independent, has suggested that contemporary politics is no longer a comfortable place for the Democrats as M. Kennedy.

“The policy of President Kennedy – service to country, support for civil rights and social justice policies favorable to economic growth and tax, and a strong national defense – are still my policy,”Mr. Lieberman said, “and they don ‘t exactly with partisan political more boxes today, either.”
