Original - Newsreel footage of the inauguration of US President John F. Kennedy on January 23, 1961
Reason
Important historical footage. Unfortunately, it only includes about half of Kennedy's famous inauguration speech, not including the "Ask not what your country can do for you..." part.

  • Oppose. Oh, if it only had that famous line. As it is now, this speech is no more noticeable than any of the other Presidential inaugural addresses. If you can find a version with that line, I would support. Clegs (talk) 00:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Sorry, but what's important here are the words, not the images (and the words aren't even complete). A quality photo of the inauguration would be every bit as useful as far as images are concerned, in fact, probably moreso. Since this is Featured Pictures, I don't see a lot here worth featuring. --jjron (talk) 07:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I encourage you to watch the entire clip-- it's professionally edited, and newsworthy, and captures just all of the important personalities associated with the event. It's a film about the inauguration itself, not just the use of a particular phrase in the speech. Spikebrennan (talk) 22:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
