History for the day

Rico says his friend Tex (hardly a history buff) sends this:
The teacher said: "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. Who said: 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for little Akio, a bright foreign exchange student from Japan, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775," he said.
"Very good! Who said: 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth'?"
Again, no response except from Akio: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."
"Excellent!" said the teacher continuing, "Let's try one a bit more difficult. Who said: 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country'?"
Once again, Akio's was the only hand in the air, and he said: "John F. Kennedy, 1961."
The teacher snapped at the class: "Class, you should be ashamed of yourselves, Akio isn't even from this country and he knows more about our history than you do."
She heard a loud whisper: "Fuck the Japs."
"Who said that? I want to know right now!? she angrily demanded.
Akio put his hand up: "General MacArthur, 1945."
At that point, a student in the back said: "I'm gonna puke.'
The teacher glares around and asks: 'All right! Now who said that?"
Again, Akio says: "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yells: "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
Akio jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher: "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now, near hysteria, someone said: "You little shit, if you say anything else, I'll kill you!"
Akio frantically yells at the top of his voice: "Michael Jackson to the children testifying against him, 2004."
The teacher fainted. As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said:"Oh shit, We're screwed!"
Akio said quietly: "The American people, 4 November 2008."
