New twist on JFK inaugural address

It was only a year ago that the presidential campaign ramped up for the final deluge of the candidate promises on restoring America back to its former greatness and world stature. Now it appears that Americans have been bamboozled by the teleprompted promises and many now have to live with the discomfort of buyers' remorse while observing from the sidelines the incredible depth of President Obama's generational theft and looting of America's future.

At the beginning of his presidency, JFK stated, "Ask not what your country can do for you; but ask what you can do for your country." President Obama has perverted this bench mark historical statement into, "Ask not what you can do for your country, but ask what can your country do for you."
