President John F Kennedy’s Inaugural Address‚ given on January 20‚ 1961 at the Capitol‚ was undoubtedly one of the best inaugural speeches ever given. This speech was intended to be heard by all of the citizens of the US‚ and with over 20‚000 in attendance‚ and many more watching at home on television‚ he reached much of his targeted audience.

was no exception. Kennedy was considered to be one of the better presidents the American people have had. He was well respected by many Americans during his time in office.
