Watching C-Span's coverage of President Obama's press conference on Thursday to me showed him to be up to speed and determined to end this Gulf disaster. He clearly gets it that many structures, both governmental and technological were not in place. He also showed a very humanistic side in speaking about the animal/plant/human life that will forever be impacted.
I think he's gonna let loose big time tomorrow. And I think we'll be proud of him and hopeful again.
Ban on offshore drilling extended to 6 months. That's a good start, yes? I wish he had gotten out in front of this sooner publicly, but I have no doubt he was focused right from the day of the explosion.
But at least Obama will NOT be photographed peering out of an airplane window or in front of an orchestrated setting like (ahem) someone else we know. I predict he'll deliver a whallop of an address.
