FACT CHECK: Obama (speech) Inflates Hopes in Spill Recovery
WASHINGTON -- In assuring Americans on Tuesday that BP won't control the compensation fund for Gulf oil spill recovery, President Barack Obama failed to mention that the government won't control it, either.That means it's anyone's guess whether the government can, in fact, make BP pay all costs related to the spill. Obama aimed high in his prime-time Oval Office address -- perhaps higher than the facts support and history teaches -- as he vowed to restore livelihoods and nature from the still-unfolding calamity in the Gulf of Mexico.
