Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) told “Fox News Sunday” that President Barack Obama is focusing too much on concealing the BP oil spill, rather than the clean-up.
“I’m afraid he’s decided to deal with this issue, at least politically, by not coming back here at all and trying to move it off the front page rather than dealing with the situation forcefully,” Vitter said.
Asked if he believes the president is trying to sweep the environmental catastrophe under the rug, the senator responded that he did believe that was Obama’s “political motivation.”
Vitter pointed out that Obama hasn’t visited Louisiana since June 4 – ignoring the president’s recent statement that he’d go back down to the Gulf Coast in the “next several weeks.”
