Most of it is plagiarized from Kennedy’s Inaugral Speech of 20 Jan, 1961,..including the century and three quarters ago portion. Some has been omitted, but maybe this is farce.

BTW, the Kennedy line, ‘ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country’, is plagiarized from the Bible.

That's an interesting piece of trivia of which I was unaware. Could you please give me chapter and verse so I can read it in it's original form?
