The oil spill in the Gulf dominates our agenda this week. The White House forces BP to put up $20 billion to make it right. Some Republicans were outraged – until they weren’t. The President addresses the nation from the Oval Office in an attempt to demonstrate command and control. Pundits said he failed, but were they right?
Our “Washington Watch” newsmaker: Missouri congressman Emmanuel Cleaver. His committee took on the top oil company execs this week, including BP.
Plus, California congresswoman Barbara Lee, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus; and Maryland congresswoman Donna Edwards [are] here to talk jobs, small business lending and the stimulus. And in our “Washington Watch” roundtable: April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks; Deborah Mathis, BlackAmericaWeb.com contributor; Robert Traynham, host of “Roll Call TV” on the Comcast Network; and Cornell Belcher, Democratic pollster and strategist.
All that and more in this week edition of “Washington Watch.”
