He might well have been American but this is still one of the most inspiring and pertinent speeches ever given by a politician, and is still very relevant today.

Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

i often wonder how good a president he would have been in the long term.
a lot of his ideas were a bit too liberal for an american public, would have resulted in increased taxation, always a no go in the states.
