The White House hopes the moves will signal that the president has taken charge of the spill, though he is virtually powerless to stop the flow of oil. Obama has faced relentless criticism, including from Democratic strategists, for seeming too detached and responding too deliberatively to the disaster. Well if BP is siphoning 630,000 gallons per day and there is still oil gushing out. It seems that the spill is quite a but more than 5,000 barrels per day

As a result, the oil is flooding out of the pipe at even higher levels than usual. This is painful to watch. The oil is just FLOODING out of the pipe! http://www.oilcam.info/

We don't who the audience was--could have been a one-sided population. You know--like all Republicans--or Republicans who register as Democrates or Independents. (There is room enough for millions of political false-identies to be polled.) I bet if the President acquiesced to false claims that he was at fault, the oil spill would be stopped in 7 days, maybe 4 days. See where I'm going? Treason. A crime against the U.S.A. "[...but, if it profits,] none dare call it Treason." And with that profit, tens of thousands of locals citizens can be paid by BP to clean that area of the environmental destruction from the BP mistake for the next 5 years. And, if that was not enough, here comes Exxon to champion BP. This reminds me of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom in which is said--I'm no thief, ask my friend.

We need to hear him speak of solutions to the gushing oil in the gulf and what he plans on doing about it.
BP has already accepted responsibility, investigations are underway to find where/who's negligence it is. When that is finalized we will all know and they will be made to pay.
We need solutions not lecturing on the same topic over and over again.
BP BETTER PUT BILLIONS OF MONEY IN ESCROW.AFTER THE CLEAN-UP IN THE GULF, THERE WILL BE MILLIONS OF LAWSUITS INVOLVING CLEAN-UP WORKERS ALLEGING THEY GOT SICK FROM THE CLEAN-UP. IN SOME CASES IT MIGHT BE TRUE, BUT IN OTHER CASES IT WILL BE A SCAM INORDER TO MAKE MONEY.
IT WILL MAKE CLAIMS BY 911 WORKERS LOOK LIKE PEANUTS.
ITS THE AMERICAN WAY.
The man sure can Dither and blame folks thats for sure.
