White THE LOCAL FORECAST Office more than 22 times. The total spilled so far could be as much as 116 million gallons. BP has had only modest success so far in stemming the flood of oil, but Obama said that within weeks "these efforts should capture up to 90 percent of the oil leaking out of the well." Later in the summer, he said, the company should finish drilling a relief well to stop the leak completely. Much of the president's speech was devoted to a recitation of steps his ad-rninistration has already taken "from me very beginning," he said to clean the oil, help the distraught people of the Gulf and prevent another environmental crisis.

"We will fight this spill with everything we've got for as long it takes," Obama said. Likening that process to a long epidemic instead of a single crushing disaster like an earthquake or hurricane, he said the nation could be tied up with the oil and its aftermath for months "and even years." Looking ahead to his show- down this morning with BP executives, Obama said he would "inform" them that the company must set aside whatever resources are required to make whole all local residents and businesses hurt by the spill and to repair the immense ecological damage wrought by the oil. That meeting was to be followed by a presidential statement his fourth planned remarks on the spill in three days. Later in the week, BP leaders-take the Washington hot seat again, appearing before more congressional hearings.

BY JENNIFER LOVEN Associated Press WASHINGTON Dedicating new urgency to the Gulf oil spill, President Barack Obama accused BP of "recklessness" in the first Oval Office address of his presiden-, cy Tuesday night and swore not to rest until the company has paid for the damage it has caused to lives, businesses and shorelines. He announced that he had asked former Mississippi Gov. Ray Mabus to develop a long-term Gulf Coast Restoration Plan to be funded by BP PLC in concert with local states, communities, fishermen, conservationists and residents "as soon as possible." Obama did not detail what this plan should include or how much it might cost, a price sure to be in the billions of dollars. Whatever the bottom line, he declared to his prime-time television audience, "We will make BP pay." Still, eight weeks into the crisis, oil continues to gush from the broken wellhead, millions of gallons a day, and Obama has been powerless to stem the leak.

The sad episode has raised doubts, about his leadership and his aclministration's response to what Obama has called the nation's worst environmental disaster. A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows for the first time a majority of Americans disapproving of his handling of the situatioa A government panel of scientists said earlier Tuesday that the undersea well is leaking even more oil than previously thought, as much as 2.52 million gallons a day or enough to fill the Oval Jail Frontpage 1A between $43,000 and $50,000 to conduct. Commissioner Doug Weisenauer has said the money for the election will come out of the 2.75-mill levy, if it passes. Commissioner Mo Ressallat said if it does not pass, the money will come out of the county's general fund. "We knew this day was going to come," Weisenauer said.

"This is a difficult time for all of us. Unfortunately, these are moves that have to be taken." Weisenauer said if the levy passes in August, commissioners can borrow against expected revenues to get things back on track sooner. "We have kind of left this as (the sheriff's) decision," Weisenauer added.
