Ask not..............from Rico

JFK, a brilliant speech-giver, famously said "Ask NOT what your Country can do for you, but what can YOU do for your Country?"

O'barry, able to read a teleprompter, says "me, me, and me" ad nauseum.

Meanwhile, an entire "gimme-gimme-gimme" generation conditioned to sit upon their kollective asses with their hands outstretched is about to find out that the Country is flat broke, and won't be able to "do" anything for them at some point.

Maggie Thatcher was absolutely right when she observed that 'the only problem with Socialism was you eventually ran out of somebody else's money.'

Another great speech (that, I believe) sums up the "gimme-gimme-gimme" generation protesters is Spiro Agnew's "Generation Gap" Speech.

JFK was shagging anything that moved.
The first draft read "Ask not what your country can do for you because its President is too busy getting his legover to care". This was carefully adjusted to accommodate the mores of the day.
