And people wonder why the dispassionate act is hurting him.
The president's private meeting with the families in the State Dining Room is part of his effort to show the public, unhappy with the handling of the catastrophe by the government and the well owner, BP PLC, that he is on top of the situation.
I'm sure Bill Clinton would have met with the families first and not waited until he had to "get on top of the situation" to do it. I mean it isn't just a bunch of pelicans that died in this spill but 11 people did too. Finally, Obama is getting around to acknowledging that fact.
It is also good to see that the British government coming to the aid of their company at least noting how economically important the company is to people in Britain.
BP PLC got its first public sign of support from the British government Thursday as the U.K.'s Treasury chief cited the "economic value" of BP in the U.K. and the U.S. In addition, the U.K.'s new prime minister said he expected to discuss the company in a weekend call with U.S. President Barack Obama.
