WASHINGTON (Reuters) The White House has been deeply involved in the effort to staunch the Gulf of Mexico oil spill from the start but may have made a mistake by failing to communicate effectively about its efforts, Vice President Joe Biden said on Wednesday.
"I think if there's any mistake made (it's) that we haven't communicated clearly enough what the president has done on this oil spill from the beginning," Biden said in the transcript of an interview with PBS' Charlie Rose television show.
"We were there the first day, the first morning after that well ... blew and that platform collapsed. We were in the Oval Office," Biden said. "He mobilized everyone in the White House in the West Wing, made it clear that every single asset of the federal government should be made available."
President Barack Obama, facing one of the biggest challenges of his presidency, is under relentless pressure to stop the gush of oil and gas from the broken BP Plc oil well far below the surface of the Gulf.

I agree.
I’m sad for LA and MS, because the ultimate losers are the hardworking people on the coast, and they’ve been failed by both Jindal and Obama (though I’d say more Obama by far).
If Carville doesn't buy it, why should we?
Wrong animal for the D’s.
How is all-and I mean all-of the damage made by Obama and his leftist allies, from both major political parties, successfully fixed and kept fixed, for always?
message lapse=code for utter incompetence
President's Schedule - May 10, 2010
2:30PM
THE PRESIDENT holds a meeting to review BP efforts to stop the oil leak
Situation Room
Closed Press
This first meeting comes on DAY 20 - not Day One. Biden and the rest of the regime are lying through their teeth.
Ummm yeah .. first thing he did was to get on the phone with Hugo Chavez and ask his advice on how to handle the crisis ...
Our beloved country is being run by self centered egotistical idiots.
Another GREAT bumper sticker!
Plugs Biden looks awfully uncomfortable. Looks like he is hoping desparately to make it to the WH latrine in time, before the s_ _t hits the fan!
communicate what? that they won’t build the sane dunes Louisiana asked for?
“We were there the first day, the first morning after that well ... blew and that platform collapsed. We were in the Oval Office,” Biden said. “He mobilized everyone in the White House in the West Wing, made it clear that every single asset of the federal government should be made available.”
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGHHHHHT!!!
and we’d have every television channel locked in on his face 24/7 since that moment were he NOT lying.
This guy projects, but doesn’t know what projection is, or he’d shut up.
Thanks! I have it set up as an actual bumper sticker here: http://www.zazzle.com/bp_baracks_problem_bumper_sticker-128103785165154760?gl=oceander
Just another way of saying that we yokels are just too darn stupid to comprehend the wonderfulness of 0, every day in every way.
It’s always a lack of communication with these cretins. Disgusting.
And if Holder keeps threatening legal action, my question is: whats his goal at this point? Sounds punitive with all the blaming. Why would bankrupting BP be good for anybody, since the federal government would get stuck with the entire tab of the cleanup.
What am I missing here?
He plans to sue the oil back into its hole.
Sounds to me that this administration is more interested in messages than results - very similar to their approach to jobs and health care. They’d rather spin a good lie than actually fix the problem.
