JFK says Democrats have served the interest of the nation for many years

Medium shot of President John F. Kennedy standing at a lectern with the words "HOLLYWOOD PALLADIUM" written on it. He has two microphones in front of him, and he is wearing a dark suit and tie. He says: "What purpose do we serve? What good are we doing the nation? Of all the problems that face us at home and abroad, how is our party, whether we're Democrats or Republicans, how are we measuring up? What is our program? What are the needs of the country, and what are we doing about them? Now the Democratic Party has answered that question with remarkable success in every generation, and the result has been that what was regarded as controversial and dangerous and new from the time of Thomas Jefferson and Jackson and Cleveland and Wilson and Roosevelt and Truman, we now almost take for granted."
