NYC, Oil Spill
Obama informs public of clean up efforts
Obama addresses public about attempted bombing and BP oil spill
President Obama addressed the public Wednesday, to discuss the recent bomb threat in New York City as well as the oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama made it clear that BP will be paying for the spill and that he will not rest or be satisfied until the leak has been stopped
Obama commended the New York police department and fire department for their work in stopping the bomb from going off. He also commended the people for their quickly alerting authorities of the crime.
The president also ensured the American public that national security is taking all the steps necessary to make sure that New York remains safe.
After a quick comment on the weather, Obama continued his speech on the oil spill that has taken over much of the Gulf of Mexico.
The oil spill is currently 9 miles of the coast of Louisiana said Obama. Workers have been working around the clock to stop this massive leak from reaching the shore.
“From day one we have prepared and planned for the worst even as we hoped for the best,” said Obama. “And while we have prepared and reacted aggressively, I’m not going to rest, …. or be satisfied until the leak is stopped at the source.”
BP is being held responsible for the spill and will be paying for it as well as damages that this massive leak has caused.
Obama concluded his speech by saying he and the government will be doing everything in their power to protect the ecosystem, repair what has been damaged and compensate those who have been harmed by this leak.
