Obama vows to help communities hurt by oil spill

Houston, Jun 05: US President Barack Obama today vowed to fight alongside communities hurt by the oil spill in Gulf of Mexico until the crisis and its aftermath have been resolved, even as BP continues with lower marine riser package (LMRP) oil spill solution to plug the leak.

In his weekly radio address from Grand Isle, Louisiana, a community hit worst by the spill, Obama pledged ongoing attention to the disaster.

“So we will continue to leverage every resource at our disposal to protect coastlines, to clean up the oil, to hold BP and other companies accountable for damages,” he said.
