Krauthammer: JFK’s Death Reminds Us How Much Things Have Changed

The fiftieth anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination reminds us how much things have changed, Charles Krauthammer said Friday evening.

Speaking on Special Report, Krauthammer cited JFK’s lofty inaugural address and the many promises he made in it, lamenting that such language is seldom heard in Washington today from Democrats or Republicans.

“He was also the man who announced the moonshot and said ‘we do these things, not because they are easy but because they are hard,” Krauthammer said. “You don’t hear that a lot today in Washington; everything is done because it’s easy.”
