President Obama will address the nation Tuesday night to talk about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill as the White House prepares a plan to require oil giant BP to set up an escrow account to pay for lost income to local businesses as a result of the April 20 explosion. The 8 p.m. ET speech will take place from the White House shortly after the president returns from a two-day trip to the Gulf. The president is expected to address efforts to contain the spill, the timeline for capturing the oil, the long-term recovery and restoration of the Gulf region and regulatory reform efforts at the Mineral Management Service."This is an ongoing crisis, much like an epidemic," David Axelrod told NBC television's "Meet the Press."The 10-15 minute speech will provide more details about a BP escrow fund the president wants established for fishers and trawlers whose livelihoods have been shot as a result of the spill. The administration wants a third-party reclamation process rather than BP managing distribution of funds.The next day, the president will make clear in his meeting with BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg and others about his expectation of BP's responsibility for caring for people affected by the spill."Our mission is to hold them accountable in every appropriate way," Axelrod said.The speech comes as the Obama administration faces criticism for a slow reaction time to the Gulf spill, including the approval for the construction of barriers and assistance to the states.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/06/13/obama-address-nation-tuesday-night-gulf-oil-spill/ I see he is going to spend 2 days in the Gulf? He must have thought his aide said GOLF!

Darn it.... I watch Hells Kitchen..... BUY THE WAY HE HOW MANY TIMES WILL HE SAY "I" bingo cards anyone..? I will not watch him. I will read the forum for update though!!!
He's trying to play gulf in at least 57 states.
The president is expected to address efforts to contain the spill, the timeline for capturing the oil, the long-term recovery and restoration of the Gulf region and most importantly, blame former President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
Hmmm....bet Obama says "I" more than Chef says "****".....
I'll propose a contest...every time he uses a personal pronoun (I, me, my), everyone takes a shot. Last person standing wins. I'm guessing that won't be more than 10 minutes in.Christ, he's so ****ing predictable.
This speech will be less about the spill and more about the need to pass cap and tax legislation to finish off the US economy.
Very convenient timing for the spill, eh? Even more convenient is the comedy of errors... too convenient?
I hate to sound like a but don't you think it's just way to coincidental that every safety feature on the entire system failed ... basically at the same time?
