A Symbolic Backdrop for Strong Words

I noticed a definite increase in comments about President Obama’s use of the Oval Office to stage tonight’s media broadcast to the public. Many people have observed that by using the Oval Office, he is “showing that he’s putting the whole force of his presidency behind this crisis.”

Maybe that full force should have come sooner? I mean, it has been two months. But some of the PR pros quoted think the timing might be right because everyone is at the breaking point. I can’t believe it has taken two months to get to the breaking point but that is a discussion for another time.

As an aside, I’ve also noticed an increase in BP’s promotion of the fact they are actively paying out legitimate claims. I’m starting to see statements about this not only in TV commercials, but in side bar advertising on the Web.
