Tonight in his first nationally televised address from the Oval Office, President Obama will speak to the nation regarding the Gulf Oil spill and the government’s response to cleaning up the largest oil spill in U.S. history. The 15-minute speech will allow the president to outline how the government will respond to this ecological disaster and at the same time push for a new comprehensive national energy strategy.
The oil spill that began on April 20th has left an indefinable mark on the administration as the president tries to gain lost momentum on how he has handled the spill since the tragic explosion which claimed the lives of eleven oil workers. This address has sever ramifications for the president, as many from both parties have been dismayed on how the president and his administration have handled this crisis.
In recent weeks the president has made numerous trip to the Gulf Region and will return to give this pivotal address and outline his new energy strategy. We will have to wait and see what the president says!
