Action description

The trick and the manipulation in this action are made so obvious: the sentence, "Don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country!" which John F. Kennedy pronounced years ago on his inauguration as President, has been edited and reversed to - "Don't ask what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you!"
