Obama says he is 'furious' at oil spill, but anger won't plug well
By Jordan Fabian - 06/03/10 06:51 PM ET


President Barack Obama on Thursday said he is "furious at {the} entire situation" surrounding the BP oil spill but that his anger will not stop the leak.

In an interview with CNN's Larry King on Thursday night, Obama expressed disappointment with the lack of preparedness to deal with a spill of this magnitude.

Asked if he is angry at BP, Obama said "You know, I am furious at this entire situation because this is an example where somebody didn't think through the consequences of their actions. It's imperiling not just a handful of people. This is imperiling an entire way of life and an entire region for potentially years."

Obama said that he would "love" to spend a lot of his time "venting and yelling at people" but said that it is more important to find a solution to plug the leak from the underwater oil well quickly.

"My job is to solve this problem and ultimately this isn't about me and how angry I am," he said. "Ultimately this is about the people down in the Gulf who are being impacted and what am I doing to make sure that they're able to salvage their way of life. And that's going to be the main focus that I've got in the weeks and months ahead."
