JFK and flying to the moon

• John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States (1961-1963)
• the youngest man elected to the office and the first catholic who had this job
• On November 22, 1963, when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office, JFK was killed in Dallas, Texas, becoming also the youngest President to die

• Kennedy was a skilled politician, an able orator and indefatigable campaigner. Mr. Obama is viewed much the same way
• Each took office after eight years of a Republican president of whom the nation had grown tired

Link to Obama´s speech:

• nobody thought a young catholic could win the election
• nobody thought a young black could win the election
• JFK stood also for a progressive and liberal policy

Flying to the moon as a central topic of comparison:

• The moon landing demonstrates the greatness of the USA over the USSR
• „We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.“
• Compares well to the speech of Obama because both had challenges of similar magnitude
