Not Working?
Listen to JFK here give his speech in 1960 when he was a Senator running for the Presidency and was getting a lot of heat from people because he was Catholic and the U.S. had never had a Catholic President before. People were worried that the Vatican was going to sway JFK's actions as President. The people were wrong as he explains here in this video of him talking before the Houston's Ministers Conference.

Respect.
I just hopped over to http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/ and found it amusing how no mention is made of Bush II's horrid reputation and policies. The short introduction focuses solely on his "achievements" prior to his Presidency. Hilarious. Political correctness, yuck!

WOW! Speech writing and the richness of the English language has become so muddled since 1960. Even though that was a simple speech by those standards, I consider it to be very powerful.
I really do feel we have slipped greatly in our use of prose.
