WASHINGTON – With anger rising across America, President Barack Obama will defend his efforts in his first Oval Office address to the nation tonight at 8 p.m. (eastern time).
He will be defending his efforts against the gushing oil in the Gulf of Mexico since the April 20, oil rig explosion.
However, just hours before the president is scheduled to speak, the government released new information indicating the oil flow was twice as much as previously estimated.
The new estimate indicates the oil flow has been flowing into the Gulf at 60,000 barrels a day. That is more than twice as much than previously reported.
Today after Obama finished a two-day inspection tour he spoke at the Pensacola Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida.
"We're going to fight back with everything that we've got," Obama said.
