He will have a meeting with the governors in regard of the efforts put behind to contain the catastrophe in the gulf.

The President will be meeting the individuals and the business leaders who are directly affected from the spill. The Coast Guard Admiral, Thad Allen, will present a first hand update in context to the progress and the situation in the Gulf of Mexico.

BP earlier today stated that they have sheared away the riser from the leaking well in the gulf. Previously they had tried to lower a cap into the well, which would divert the leaking oil to the ships on the surface.
