First off, this was a good news conference. President Obama was concise, on point, he had the Gulf Coast Governors beside him, with exception of Haley Barbour. What he said was vitally important to the residents of that area, "We will not abandon you." That is what they needed to hear. As many of you know, I have been critical of the communication coming from this White House and it does need to be fixed. But the people down there was beginning to think this was another treatment like "Katrina" and this perception needed to be fixed ASAP. This is good first step, because the people of this region do not trust BP nor the slowness response of the government, thus far.
