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.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/4284896/Barack-Obama-to-echo-JFK-with-call-for-self-sacrifice.htmlThe themes of the inaugural speech, Mr. Gibbs said, would be familiar to those who have watched Mr. Obama, but would be “heavily infused with this notion of responsibility, getting our country back on track.”
Asked whether this would include a call for sacrifice by an already stressed populace, Mr. Gibbs said, “Obviously, the American people are all going to have to give some.” But he said those who had suffered the most in recent years should “get the help that they need.”
