| President Roosevelt |
In his first inaugural address, President Franklin D. Roosevelt promised a New Deal for the American people, and told them to face the truth, that the current times were tough. Yet FDR was also optimistic, and delivered his famous line of "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," telling Americans, in the midst of the Great Depression, not to worry, and that they will get out of their misery, if they maintain hope and support the country's leaders - FDR considered the support essential to rescue the country from its tough times.

| President Kennedy |
FDR's address is similar to JFK's inaugural address since both contain a famous line (Kennedy's: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.") and had an uplifting tone that garnered strong patriotic feelings and encouraged the American people to support the country and that everything will be okay as long as people don't worry and work hard for not only themselves, but each other.
