Obama's speech to stress responsibility

Anonymous The Eagle Tribune Sun Jan 18, 2009, 10:41 AM EST

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top aide says Barack Obama's inauguration address will call on Americans to embrace a new era of responsible behavior — in government and in business.

Rahm Emanuel, Obama's choice for chief of staff, says Obama's speech Tuesday will ask the nation to reject the "culture of anything goes."

Emanuel says Obama will ask Americans to restore a national value system that honors responsibility and accountability. It harkens back to John F. Kennedy's call for personal sacrifice in his 1960 inauguration address.

Press secretary Robert Gibbs says the president-elect wrote out the bulk of the speech as it is now.

Emanuel appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" and Gibbs appeared on "Fox News Sunday."

Re-enactors from a black Civil War regiment. World War II's surviving Tuskegee Airmen. Freedom Riders from the civil rights movement. They were Obama's nod to the past among 13,000 parade participants from all 50 states scheduled to travel down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House.
