Paper Introduction: Analysis of John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address, Delivered Friday, January 20, 1961 The Situation President Kennedy beat out Richard Nixon by an extremely small margin, and the campaign was a bitter one. The nation was also at war in Vietnam, there was a strong Cold War going on with Russia, and there was also some fear that Kennedy, the first-ever Catholic president might create a non-secular government. On the morning of the inauguration, it was snowing in Washington, and many people wanted to cancel the outdoor swearing in. Kennedy demanded that it be held outdoors as tradition dictated. The Speech The Beginning The first part of the speech was designed to acknowledge and embrace a Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.

In a mere 69 words, he has established a framework of totalinclusion, where he embraces his friend, his enemies, his allies, God andhistorical precedent. Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens, we observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom-symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning-signifying renewal, as well as change. The nation was also at war inVietnam, there was a strong Cold War going on with Russia, and there wasalso some fear that Kennedy, the first-ever Catholic president might createa non-secular government. Kennedy demanded that it be held outdoors as traditiondictated. Analysis of John F. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of GodThis was a very brave statement for a President to make, although theattitude had always been present. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago. "Let us nevernegotiate out of fear. This next section is awesomely resonantand particularly meaningful after the September 11, 2 1 massacre ofinnocent Americans by Islamic terrorists. Even though America was founded on thestatement of a separation of Church and State, it is also a nation thatputs "In God We Trust" on almost all currency. However, here was aPresident who was saying in an official speech that the rights of man weregiven by God and not by man. This argument was followed by the phrase that has often been used tohighlight and define that speech. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. The Argument Next Kennedy tries to show how the times have changed from themoments of his historical precedent. Let both sidesexplore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems whichdivide us." References Inaugural Address of President John F.

The Language President Kennedy often quoted Winston Churchill's edict to "Neveruse a dollar word when a nickel word will do." When one analyzes hisspeech in terms of the language it uses, the conclusion is that every wordchosen is in the speaking vocabulary of most Americans. The Speech The Beginning The first part of the speech was designed to acknowledge and embraceall aspects of the government and guests. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, Delivered Friday, January 2 , 1961 The Situation President Kennedy beat out Richard Nixon by an extremely smallmargin, and the campaign was a bitter one. The world is very different now. But let us never fear to negotiate. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life.
