don tant just want to be in the club. they have been described as being on the outside of the culture looking in through the glass, but they don t just want to come in. they want to come in and be table to punch people in the face and walk around and laugh about it and not have anyone be able to stop them. the thing is the enjoyment they get out of being in this town square is being able to a race people, being able to attack people. there was a time when people had the double #s around their name because they were jewish and right leaders were saying get in the oven any time you made a benign comment. they attacked women. the misogyny was crazy on twitter for a while. elon musk, you guess he misses the old south africa in the 508s. he wants that back. look. he wants to bring the old crew back together. he wants to bring trump. trump claims he s not coming. he can t resist. all the people will come back. all of them. the important thing we have to remember is even if he does
this morning, i think everybody in america knew on day two whose a double s ought to be kicked. for the past 55 days we ve seen a lot of anger and frustration aimed at both bp and the government. lately more criticism of president obama s handling of the situation. reporter: fredricka, the president has been defending his response to the oil spill. this week the white house shifts into high gear. president barack obama will address the nation tuesday night. he ll meet with oil executives on wednesday. and he s starting off monday with a trip to the gulf region. his fourth since the spill. just today the obama administration outlined its plan for compensation of oil spill victims by forcing bp to set aside a large pool of money. we re going to use all the legal authority that we have. we believe that it s ultimately
kr trustee to be used for economic damages and clean-up cost. fred? and the president has also been receiving a lot of criticism from folks of all factions. particularly republicans took to the morning shows today and had some pretty strong, terse words about the president, his language and how he s behaving in all of this. reporter: that s right, fredricka. as the oil spill continues, so does the criticism for the president. one of the republican leaders in the house said today on cnn s state of the union that mr. obama continues to be slow in his response. congressman, he has, in fact, he s been down there. he tells his people to go do it. why isn t that sufficient? i think the fact that he never spoke to the ceo of british petroleum for the first 50 days of this incident is emblematic of the kind of detached style of leadership we re seeing here. look, and this business about the president looking for somebody s a double s to kick this week, as the new york times said th
on day two whose a double s ought to be kicked. reporter: in his address to the country tuesday night the president is also expected to talk about restructuring the way the oil industry is regulated through the interior department. fredricka, back to you. more on the government-imposed deadline for bp. for that we go to new orleans now with chris lawrence who is there. chris, any word from bp as o whether they will, indeed, make that deadline? reporter: well, they ve said publicly that they will make the deadline. that they will get something out today, end of the day. we don t know if that means in the next couple hours, if that means late tonight, 11:00 or midnight. but they are expected to come back with some sort of a response. the big question is, what more can they do? i think what the government and what the coast guard is looking for, one, is more back-up plans. there s been a lot of criticism of bp, that they seem to be lurching from one last-ditch effort to another. and
the administration is really stung by this. yes. so it s ramping up the public efforts. it s ramping up its public efforts. the problem is it s going to be a little while before they silence the critics. here s a couple samples from today. he could have picked up the phone and called the ceo of bp sooner than 50 days. i m glad he s meeting with the chairman of bp next week. but i think the fact that he never spoke to the ceo of british petroleum for the first 50 days of this incident is emblemmatic of the kind of detached style of leadership that we re seeing here. this business about the president looking for somebody s a double s to kick this week, i think everybody in america new on day two whose a double s ought to be kicked. it sounds as if you are as frustrated with the obama administration and the lack of coordination and commonality of purpose as you might be with bp. well, absolutely, because you can t have a committee making
