John Kennedy actually said...

"I cannot believe, faced with the difficult problems that this country now faces, that the American people are going to turn back to a Republican leadership."

"It would not take eight Grand Coulee Dams a year to bridge the gap."

"If we are to protect our heritage of freedom - if we are to maintain it around the world - we must be strong - militarily, economically, educationally and morally strong."

"I have confidence in our ability to close the missile gap, to modernize our conventional forces, and to give this country the kind of defensive strength it needs to stop the next war before it starts."
