Obama: 'My Administration is Committed to Protecting and Restoring the Gulf Coast'
Statement by President Obama Marking One-Year Anniversary of the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
One year ago today, the Deepwater Horizon oil platform exploded, killing eleven men and ultimately releasing an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico. That catastrophic event deeply affected the lives of millions of Americans, from local fishermen to restaurant and hotel owners and small businesses throughout the region. From the beginning, my administration brought every available resource to bear, amassing the largest oil spill response in our nation’s history. At the height of the response, approximately 48,000 men and women worked tirelessly to mitigate the worst impacts of the spill. While we’ve made significant progress, the job isn’t done.
Nearly 2,000 responders are actively working in the Gulf to aid in the ongoing recovery efforts. We continue to hold BP and other responsible parties fully accountable for the damage they’ve done and the painful losses that they’ve caused. We’re monitoring seafood to ensure its continued safety and implementing aggressive new reforms for offshore oil production in the Gulf so that we can safely and responsibly expand development of our own energy resources. And EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson is leading a task force to coordinate the long-term restoration effort based on input from local scientists, experts, and citizens.
The events that unfolded on April 20, 2010 and the oil spill that followed underscores the critical link between the environment and economic health of the Gulf. My Administration is committed to doing whatever is necessary to protect and restore the Gulf Coast. Today, we remember the eleven lives lost as a result of this tragic event and thank the thousands of responders who worked to mitigate this disaster. But we also keep a watchful eye on the continuing and important work required to ensure that the Gulf Coast recovers stronger than before.

UPDATE: Federal Budget Talks Still At Impasse
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
ON BUDGET TALKS
James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
9:33 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: I just completed another meeting with Speaker Boehner and Leader Reid, and I wanted to report again to the American people that we made some additional progress this evening. I think the staffs of both the House and the Senate, as well as the White House staff, have been working very hard to try to narrow the differences. We made some progress today. Those differences have been narrowed. And so once again the staff is going to be working tonight around the clock in order to see if we can finally close a deal.
But there is still a few issues that are outstanding. They’re difficult issues. They’re important to both sides. And so I’m not yet prepared to express wild optimism. But I think we are further along today than we were yesterday.
I want to reiterate to people why this is so important. We’re now less than 30 hours away from the government shutting down. That means, first of all, 800,000 families -- our neighbors, our friends, who are working hard all across the country in a whole variety of functions -- they suddenly are not allowed to come to work. It also means that they’re not getting a paycheck. That obviously has a tremendous impact.
You then have millions more people who end up being impacted because they’re not getting the services from the federal government that are important to them. So small businesses aren’t seeing their loans processed. Folks who want to get a mortgage through the FHA may not be able to get it, and obviously that’s not good as weak as this housing market is. You’ve got people who are trying to get a passport for a trip that they’ve been planning for a long time -- they may not be able to do that. So millions more people will be significantly inconvenienced; in some ways, they may end up actually seeing money lost or opportunities lost because of a government shutdown.
And then finally, there’s going to be an effect on the economy overall. Earlier today one of our nation’s top economists said -- and I’m quoting here -- “The economic damage from a government shutdown would mount very quickly. And the longer it dragged on, the greater the odds of a renewed recession.”
We’ve been working very hard over the last two years to get this economy back on its feet. We’ve now seen 13 months of job growth; a hundred -- 1.8 million new jobs. We had the best report, jobs report, that we’d seen in a very long time just this past Friday. For us to go backwards because Washington couldn’t get its act together is unacceptable.
So, again: 800,000 federal workers and their families impacted; millions of people who are reliant on government services not getting those services -- businesses, farmers, veterans; and finally, overall impact on the economy that could end up severely hampering our recovery and our ability to put people back to work.
That’s what’s at stake. That’s why it’s important to the American people. That’s why I’m expecting that as a consequence of the good work that’s done by our staffs tonight, that we can reach an agreement tomorrow.
But let me just point out one last thing. What I’ve said to the Speaker and what I’ve said to Harry Reid is because the machinery of the shutdown is necessarily starting to move, I expect an answer in the morning. And my hope is, is that I’ll be able to announce to the American people sometime relatively early in the day that a shutdown has been averted, that a deal has been completed that has very meaningful cuts in a wide variety of categories, that helps us move in the direction of living within our means, but preserves our investments in things like education and innovation, research, that are going to be important for our long-term competitiveness.
That’s what I hope to be able to announce tomorrow. There’s no certainty yet, but I expect an answer sometime early in the day.
All right. Thank you very much, everybody.

"From The G-Man" Show Suspended
"The G-Man" interviews NY State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr.
Lack of Funding and Director's Respite Block Production
Hey, G-Fans. I decided to write this blurb after receiving quite a few emails asking when new episodes of my Internet show would be posted. Unfortunately and regrettably, I must suspend filming because I have not been able to obtain donations to keep production going. I hope to resume filming at some point.
In addition to a lack of funding, director and editor Sam Girgis, who waived all fees to shoot and edit all four shows, eventually had to step away to deal with some important matters. I don’t know when or if he will return, but I have no ill feelings toward him or his decision. I support him one hundred percent and hope to work with him again in the future.
It is because of Sam and his kindness that my show ended up on the Internet, and I will always be grateful to him for that. Again, we had no funding of any kind, but we did our best to try and present issues and produce shows that were engaging, enlightening and entertaining.
On a happier note, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you that watched “From The G-Man” (http://www.youtube.com/user/GaryTheGmanToms). Despite not having posted any new episodes since May of this year, the show’s fan base is growing rapidly.
Furthermore, the web page is about to surpass the 1,000 uploads mark. The number of uploads might not seem like a big deal to many, but I consider it a major accomplishment for someone that has never done an Internet news/talk show.
Having had the opportunity to create, executive produce, write and host all four shows helped bring me closer to my dream of becoming the Internet version of Charlie Rose. Yes, I know I have a long way to go before I can even come close to Rose’s status in broadcast media, but I intend to get there one day.
This show has proved that even with two people, I can produce stories as good as any network or cable news outlet. At this point, I’ll just keep hoping and praying that people will donate or an investor will contact me with an offer to support my work.....with no strings attached.
Thank you all very, very much for watching. For now, please keep reading my blog because I'm working on other powerful installments.
This statement is from the heart and…From The G-Man.
