President Barack Obama to Meet with Relatives of Workers Killed in Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig Explosion

President Barack Obama will be meeting with the family of eleven oil workers who were killed in the explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20.

While much has been made about the environmental and economic impact that explosion has caused there has been little attention paid to the eleven lives lost. According to spokesman Robert Gibbs the President will address that neglect when he expresses his condolences to the families at a private White House meeting.

Gibbs went on to say that he felt Obama was “eager to discuss with them what their family was telling them about safety conditions and what type of changes can and must be made in the regulatory framework to ensure that deepwater drilling that goes forward is done in a way that is safe and not life-threatening.”
