Pop Quiz: Did JFK Really Say That?

Master CraftsMon - Aired Monday, November 28, 2005 at about 11pm CST

John F. Kennedy in a speech many years ago, said, "People ask, ‘Why?'. I ask, ‘Why Not?'" Kennedy came at each problem with undying optimism that government could solve all problems and thus the ‘Why Not?' question was a dismissive question. In other words, he was saying, "Of course we can solve all these problems with government."

The question arises. Am I correct? I could be mistaken. JFK might not have said the above. Go out on the web and find the speech he made the above comment in or tell me who actually said it. Or prove to me through logical discourse that Kennedy did NOT mean what I said.
