WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House has been deeply involved in the effort to staunch the Gulf of Mexico oil spill from the start but may have made a mistake by failing to communicate effectively about its efforts, Vice President Joe Biden said on Wednesday.
"I think if there's any mistake made (it's) that we haven't communicated clearly enough what the president has done on this oil spill from the beginning," Biden said in the transcript of an interview with PBS' Charlie Rose television show.
"We were there the first day, the first morning after that well ... blew and that platform collapsed. We were in the Oval Office," Biden said. "He mobilized everyone in the White House in the West Wing, made it clear that every single asset of the federal government should be made available."
President Barack Obama, facing one of the biggest challenges of his presidency, is under relentless pressure to stop the gush of oil and gas from the broken BP Plc oil well far below the surface of the Gulf.

Engaged on day one means they own it from day one.
100% committed to solving the problem, huh?
What do you think the odds are that Obama still finds the time to attend an NBA Finals game while the well is gushing? But can’t be bothered making another trip down to the Gulf Coast?
At that point, the E. Coli bacteria will probably be more popular in Louisiana than “Pres’ent” Obama.
Total, absolute, blatant LIE!
We believe you......
Joe Biden is a liar.

No mention of the platform collapse.
Joe, then why is it such a ******* mess?
The message isn’t the problem, the oil reaching FL is
.. and 43 or 44 days later it's still pouring into the sea! Real accomplishment there, Obama.
Pure, weapons-grade bull shit.
I don’t think Jindal ever got the Federal approval to build the artificial islands. I also think it’s too late.
It’s what liberals do. They sue the producers, drive the prices up for the rest of us, and use their ill-gotten gain for nefarious purposes. It’s just their M.O., and with the help of the MSM they actually manage to make the racket look noble.
I have been thinking the exact same comparison to 0bama and Dike.
Dike absolutely represents what we have with 0bama.
THat ain't all that's loose.
He just did.

Yes. So much damage has been done already. I think 0bozo basically wants to weaken this country, especially the south, who didn't vote for him. I just don't see why else it's taken him so darn long(and after massive damage has been done), before approving the berms.
Far be it from me to disagree with a guy that is as right as you are here. ;^)

Obama and his army of flying monkeys just hasn't gotten the word out about how they're really pro-Israel, too. Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Do It!
Do the hustle!
It’s easy for me to say, but if I were Bobby Jindal I’d have said screw the Feds, I’m doing it, then gone to Dubai and ask the guys who built the palm islands to come over on BP’s dime. They’d have done it by now.
That would have shown Presidential quality leadership, and he could have had a go at it against Palin in ‘12. This opportunity has slipped through Jinal’s fingers.
