« The Humor Of President Kennedy (His Final Speech Nov. 21, 1963) »
OR
Thank you.
The JFK Show...this is by far the best clip for pure comedy...a compilation video of his funniest one-liners from various speeches and press conferences.
One minute clip from a fundraiser for the Democratic Party. Let's face it, the guy could give a speech and work a crowd.
Three minute clip with some interviews thrown in. Honestly, all of these clips are great. I've spent 3 hours this morning watching nothing but Kennedy and I'm not bored. In case you missed it last week, check out the humor of Ronald Reagan. Even if you despise Reagan politically, he will leave you laughing.
A 47-second clip of the same speech as the video at the top of the page, but in higher quality.
(Several Photos Are Below)
I was not yet born when John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. The date was November 22nd, 1963. Many of our readers will recall that week in painful detail, and will hopefully share some of their stories. This clip was filmed just 16 hours before his assassination, in a televised speech given in Houston, Texas. Jack was 46 years young and was our 35th President.
The subject was NASA, the space program and the race to be the first nation to reach the moon. JFK gets the audience roaring with just a slight, slip of the tongue. Watch.
Update: Added 4 Kennedy videos inside. Jack was a comedic genius.
Thank you.

Most people don’t know that another race to the moon is underway.
A funny thing happened on the way to the moon, we earthlings can’t seem to get a good photo of it (until now maybe). NASA (yes, our government) has a chance to show-off again by taking a photo of the Apollo debris on the moon but will they or can they? For the kiddies, this would be the first detailed pictures of the moon. Why is this not exciting? We are going to “google earth” the moon. This is an opportunity to see some very interesting things. Space, the final frontier…
Here is my post again…

Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.

CHINA did it too… Chang'e-1 (March 2009)
Chang'e-1 was launched into space on October 24, 2007, and sent the first full map of the moon's surface back to China one month later.
Here is a picture of the moon…

RUSSIA did it many times…they are sitting this one out…

A Russian spacecraft is said to have landed on the moon hours before Nasa’s Apollo 11 in 1969. According to a recording that has now been declassified by the Jodrell Bank Observatory, astronomer Sir Bernard Lovell’s radio telescope, which was hidden in the archives until recently, shows the Russian craft orbiting the moon and crash-landing onto its surface at 15:50 on July 21, just a few hours before the Americans lifted.
USA has been there done that, so we are not in the race…kidding…June 2009… The Obama Moon Money Pit Probe (ha, not yet)…It is called the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter or LCROSS
We landing many probes 40 years ago (Surveyor, seven in total)
We took man to the moon (Apollo, another seven times)

But, we still want to go back for shits and giggles…

NASA launched its first moon shot in a decade Thursday, sending up a pair of unmanned science probes that will help determine where astronauts could land and set up camp in years to come.
Wait a tic, back the F up…to determine where astronauts could land???
We have been to the surface (man and unmanned) how many times?
Can’t we get a Sherpa to take us there now?
This puppy isn’t even gonna land, it’s going to crash into the moon?
SOMETHING SMELLS ROTTEN IN DENMARK!
Any science geeks out there? Please explain…
