The language that President Obama is using has swung back towards a more hostile tone (as compared to his reassurances to the British Prime Minister and people that it was not the British public who needed an ass-kicking, but rather BP only).
In his Oval Office address, Obama used words and phrases like “recklessness,” “We will make BP pay,” and that we will “fight this spill with everything we’ve got for as long as it takes.”
He does refer to the clean-up effort as long term, something that could take years. I think it was appropriate for him to say it, because it is the truth. There is no magic bullet that is going to solve this crisis overnight. It will be with us for a long time.
I’m just not sure the general public is interested in hearing that.
