a day going out in the gulf of mexico. to date that is now about two million. we have learned that president obama on background here, is planning to come to the scene here with a small footprint in the next 48 hours. phil keating live for us in venice, louisiana. that city was wiped off through hurricane katrina and suffered through gustav and ike and now thep, and the governor of louisiana saying it is it a problem because nothing is slowing the leak. listen to governor bobby jindle. i am certainly worried that the booms are not effective and the areas impacted by the space is critical and fragile coastal sites. next few days is critical. we must protect our coast. it sounds like everybody underestimated it had from bp to the federal government and now people are comparing this.
