President Obama’s National Address on BP Crisis

by Donald Douglas | June 15, 2010 9:19 pm

It was dreadful.

NYT‘s has its report, “In Oval Office Speech, Obama Presses BP on Compensation[1],” and also Politico, “President Obama: ‘We will make BP pay’[2].” WSJ‘s got the text of the speech[3] via Memeorandum[4], and this should be leading by the end of the evening. I’ll have more later, but the president was dishonest in claiming the feds have been on the scene since day one and Obama exudes no urgency in crisis. Most of all, the speech was mostly propaganda fear-mongering on the alleged dangers of environmental collapse. I’ll have updates at American Power[5], but watch the clip. Dreadful:
