The really weird inauguration speech was JFK’s. He took the oft-used line about American being the hope for the world and placed the United Nations in as the last best hope.
Christ said that the poor are with us always but JFK said that man has in his power the ability to eliminate poverty world wide (or in contrast destroy the world).
JFK may actually have believed that but it was a fantasy. If you define poverty as being eliminated when NO ONE on the Earth lacks the basic necessities of life it cannot be done simply because some people could be handed millions and they would be going hungry in an amazingly short time.
