Obama Administration's 'It's BP's Issue' PR Strategy No Longer Viable

President Obama will hold a press conference tomorrow to address new offshore drilling regulations. He will also head to the Gulf Coast on Friday.

The moves reflect a different tone from the administration’s original stance on the recent Gulf Coast oil spill, which was to paint it as a problem almost solely to be dealt with by the company’s responsible – namely BP – and not the government.

“The president himself has only made one brief appearance in the region since the spill began and has only spoken publicly about the incident six times in the past five weeks,” CBS News notes.
