Obama Vows to Help Gulf Region
------------------------------



On Sunday President Obama visited the region for the first time since
the crisis began.
bq. President Obama: "This is one of the richest and most beautiful
ecosystems on the planet and for centuries its residents have enjoyed
and made a living off the fish that swim in these waters and the
wildlife that inhabit these shores. This is also the heartbeat of the
region’s economic life and we’re going to do everything in our power to
protect our natural resources, compensate those who have been harmed,
rebuild what has been damaged and help this region persevere like it has
done so many times before.”
