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."

Sending to Rush, Hannity and Beck....thanks for pointing it out so I didn’t have to sort through them all.
Not surprising that they lied yet again, it’s the only thing they know how to do.
Just what exactly has nobama done except to threaten legal action? Even that is questionable since BP oil is a major $$ contributor to nobama’s political campaign. BP also owns significant interest in the London-based carbon-foot print company started by algore to fleece us further. Also, the feds were about to reward BP with a safety award for that rig. It seems the Feds (the regulators) should be liable for legal action since they failed in their oversight. This is a complex “cluster-f**k”. Nothing to see here...Move along, Citizen!
Obama sicking Holder on BP is the STUPIDEST thing I have heard yet.
Obama clearly stated he is in charge and has always been yet the idiot thinks retaining lawyers to attack BP; will pass the blame.
He needs impeached yesterday!
Proving that it is always style over substance.
//I also think it’s too late//
Yes it is to late, and it has been for awhile.
