Thank you Franci Hoffmanđ for taking the time to read and comment. The quote you cite is certainly one of JFKâs most famous and carries significant meaning. Unfortunately, too many of todayâs ultra-partisan and self-centered politicians likewise need to heed that same advice, in addition to ordinary citizens. No one, especially our elected members of Congress in Washington, should be their personal political self-interest over the national interest. The âswampâ still needs draining.
