On 2nd term eve, President Obama cites commitment to service (+video)
Susan Walsh, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — On the brink of a second term, President Barack Obama invoked Martin Luther King Jr.'s commitment to service Saturday as inauguration-goers flocked to the capital city for a distinctly American celebration including an oath-taking as old as the republic, a splashy parade and partying enough to last four years.
"I think we're on the cusp of some really great things," Vice President Joe Biden predicted for a country still recovering from a deep recession.
Freshly built inaugural stands at the Capitol gleamed white in the sun, and hundreds of chairs for special guests were set out on the lawn that spills down toward the National Mall as the president and vice president began their inauguration weekend.
Julius Cherry, in town from Sacramento, Calif., brought his family to the foot of the Capitol to see the area where their official tickets will let them watch the public ceremonies on Monday.
"There were people who said they'd never vote for an African-American president," the 58-year-old lawyer said. "Now they've voted for him twice, and he won the popular vote and the electoral vote. That says something about his policies and his team."
"And the country," added Cherry's wife, Donna.
Said Erika Goergen, from the Midwest and attending college locally: "It's amazing to be here right now."
Officials estimated that as many as 800,000 people will attend Monday's public ceremonies. That's more than live in the city, if far fewer than the 1.8 million who were at Obama's first inauguration in 2009.
The president made only a glancing reference to race as he spoke at an elementary school not far from the White House after he and first lady Michelle Obama stained a bookcase as part of a national service event organized by the inaugural committee.
"We think about not so much the inauguration, but we think about this is Dr. King's birthday we're going to be celebrating this weekend," the president said.
"He said everybody wants to be first, everybody wants to be a drum major. But if you're going to be a drum major, be a drum major for service, be a drum major for justice, be a drum major for looking out for other people," Obama said of the civil rights leader whose birthday is celebrated as a national holiday on Monday.
Because the date for inauguration set in the Constitution, Jan. 20, falls on a Sunday this year, Obama and Biden were to be sworn in for second terms in separate, private ceremonies on Sunday.
The public ceremonies are set for Monday, when Obama will take the oath of office at noon, then deliver an inaugural address before a large crowd and a national television audience in the millions.
The traditional lunch with lawmakers in the Capitol follows, and the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House. There, a reviewing stand was adorned with the presidential seal and equipped with seats enough for Obama and other dignitaries to watch in relative comfort as military units, marching bands, floats and thousands of participants go past. A pair of inauguration balls will cap the day, including one with a guest list that runs to 40,000 names.
A select few — those who donated as much as $1 million to defray inauguration expenses — received special access to public as well as invitation-only receptions and parties.
The second term begins in circumstances different in many ways from the first, but familiar in others.
The economy, then in the grip of a fierce and deepening recession, is now recovering slowly as unemployment recedes and stocks flirt with five-year highs. The health care legislation that Obama urged Congress to enact in his first inaugural address is the law of the land, courtesy of a split ruling by the Supreme Court.

Rachel Canning: Judge Rules In Favor Of NJ Parents Sued By 18-Year-Old DaughterBy: Val Powell - March 5, 2014
New Jersey teenager Rachel Canning failed to get the justice system to order her parents to give her financial assistance. The 18-year-old high school honor student previously sued her parents for allegedly "abandoning" her and kicking her out of their Lincoln Park residence. Canning also claimed to have been verbally abused by her parents for not following house rules.
A dangerous precedent
On Tuesday, Family Court Judge Peter Bogaard's ruling stated that Canning's parents are not required to shoulder their daughter's high school tuition, a request for a $600 monthly financial support, and her legal fees. Bogaard also delayed a ruling on Rachel's college tuition lawsuit, remarking that it might be dangerous to set a precedent that makes parents apprehensive about establishing house rules.
The Canning family was present during the hearing held at a family courthouse in Morristown, New Jersey on Tuesday. Rachel sat with the Inglesinos, her best friend's family, with whom she has been staying since November. Her best friend's father John Inglesino, who happens to be a lawyer, is funding Canning's lawsuit.
She said, they said
Rachel's father Sean Canning insists that they did not kick their daughter out of the house, and that she left on her own volition because of her refusal to follow their house rules. The parents' lawyer Laurie Rush-Masuret released a statement before the hearing saying that the Cannings have asked their daughter to come home and settle things amongst themselves instead of fighting in court.
Rush-Masuret also labeled Rachel's claims as "outrageous" and said that she practically "emancipated herself" from her parents' guidance and control when she left their home. Since she is 18, Rachel has also effectively released herself from her parents' support in the process. Even though emancipation does not have a set age in New Jersey, parents can terminate financial support if they are no longer able to make decisions for their child.
The Cannings are scheduled to meet again in court on Tuesday, April 22.
