In 1961 Kennedy said-

"My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

Last night, pelosi quoted Kennedy and said -

"My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

I don't see this as a misquote. nancy just quoted what seems to be a lesser known portion of Kennedy's speech. The part she quoted plays more towards her desire to form a "true coalition" of nations.

I agree with you on the quote, but she left out this part just before it for OBVIOUS reasons: Purley Political.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.
