Obama to make fourth Gulf trip next week with two-day visit

President Barack Obama will next week make his fourth visit to the Gulf Coast since the massive BP oil spill began in April, the White House said.

Obama was in Louisiana last week, where he warned oil giant BP against “nickel and diming” Gulf Coast residents when it comes to paying out damages claims.

Obama has been to Louisiana three times since the spill. But next week’s two-day visit — on Monday, June 14 and Tuesday, June 15 — will take the him to Mississippi, Alabama and Florida to “further assess the latest efforts to counter the BP oil spill,” the White House said.
