Obama's Oval Office address on the Gulf oil spill by Magdalena Rosova

US President Brack Obama is expected to deal with the case of oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as he needs to restore public confidence in his ability to lead the country. On Tuesday night Obama will make a high-stakes address to the nation, his speech should support his ambitious plans to cut U.S. dependence on fossil fuels. Obama will have more difficult task thanks to the fact that BP did not succeed in its last attempts to stop the flow of oil into the see. Because of a small fire that burned up on a ship which was collecting the crude, BP was forced to stop its operations. A live video feed that is placed on the seabed showed clouds of oil flowing into the ocean. BP sai! d it did not know when it would resume its activities. BP's rig blew out on April 20 and then immediately sank into the sea. The oil which spilled into the see caused the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. In Washington U.S. Congress is hearing the company. Executives of the oil company told the Congress that BP did not keep industry standards in building its deep-see well. On Tuesday Obama will give his first nationally televised address from the Oval Office, he will try to show people that he is able to deal with the oil spill crisis. However, polls showed that most Americans thinks Obama has been too detached from the crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. The speech will start at 8 p.m. and Obama will try to persuade people about the opposite.
