Obama's speech will call for new era of responsibility: aides
AFP - Monday, January 19
WASHINGTON (AFP) - - Barack Obama will call on Americans to replace the "anything goes" culture of recent years with a new "era of responsibility" in his inaugural address on Tuesday, top aides said Sunday.
The president-elect penned most of the historic speech just a week ago, crafting an address that will be "heavily infused with this notion of responsibility and getting our country back on track," spokesman Robert Gibbs told "Fox News Sunday."
Rahm Emanuel, Obama's selection as chief of staff, said the inaugural address of the first African-American president, would stress the need to create "an era of responsibility" in the place of what has too long "been a culture of anything goes."
"We need that culture of responsibility, not just to be asked of the American people, but its leaders must also lead by example," Emanuel said on NBC's'"Meet the Press" program.
He said Obama would call on Americans to "once again restore a value system that respects and honors fiscal responsibility, and we all have something to give to our country and have an obligation to do that to return it to its greatness."
Obama will give his inaugural address around noon (1700 GMT) Tuesday just after taking the oath of office as the 44th US president.
