John Kennedy actually said...

"I want to be a President who recognizes every citizen's rights as well as his obligations."

"We are choosing a President of the United States."

"For I am not in this campaign merely to win an election - I seek election in order to carry out our program."

"And if I am successful on Tuesday, it is my intention to be, in the fullest measure of the word and office, the next President of the United States."
