John Kennedy actually said...

"I don’t think there has been any presidential election where the issues are so serious, the problems facing the United States so burdensome, the responsibilities so heavy upon us all"

"But I do say that if I am elected President of the United States, I do think it is possible to set before the American people the things which we must do in order to maintain our freedom"

"I just want to say one word about the importance of sending a good man to the House of Representatives."

"This State symbolizes the opportunities and the responsibilities and the problems which face the United States as a whole."
