Obama Revs Up

Fresh from a trip to northwest Florida and other Gulf Coast areas, President Barack Obama is starting his historic Oval Office speech by telling us what we already know: A way of life is in peril; his trip has given him an understanding of the Gulf Coast, trying to cap the spill has tested the limits of human technology. Then, a promise ...

"We will fight the spill with everthing we've got for as long as it takes. We will make BP pay."

He also said he has authorized 17,000 National Guardsmen and has 30,000 federal workers in the Gulf.
