Watch Bill Schneider's report on the two historic speeches on religion.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's speech Thursday on religion was not the first time a White House hopeful has addressed his faith in an effort to win over skeptical voters. In 1960, Sen. John F. Kennedy also gave a speech about religious faith.

In this report, Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider takes a look at the two speeches and at Romney's and JFK's differing goals in addressing concerns about their religious beliefs.

Who cares what Bill Schneider thinks or Chris Matthews or Pat Bucannan. A bunch of white men trying to disect someone's ideals and faith.
Go Get a LIFE all of you

The ground shook, the sky parted and the wind swept in when Mitt spoke.
Get real, what a joke! He couldn't hold a candle to JFK. Hahahahahaa
More like Ross Perot I'd say.
