Holder Headed To Gulf Coast
The Washington Post reports that the Obama administration is sending Attorney General Eric Holder to the Gulf Coast: "The Holder trip could signal that the environmental calamity might become the subject of a criminal investigation. Holder has said Justice Department lawyers are examining whether there was any 'malfeasance' related to the leaking oil well, and investigators, who have already been on the coast for a month, have sent letters to BP instructing the company to preserve internal records related to the spill. But federal officials indicated that Holder's trip, which will include a news conference in New Orleans on Tuesday afternoon, will focus on enforcement of environmental laws and holding BP accountable."
Obama's Day Ahead
President Obama will receive the presidential daily briefing at 9:30 a.m. ET, and the economic daily briefing at 10 a.m. ET. He will meet at 11:15 a.m. ET with the co-chairs of the BP Oil Spill Commission, and he will deliver a statement to the press at 12:15 p.m. ET. He will meet at 2:30 p.m. ET with senior advisers. He will meet at 6 p.m. ET with Peruvian President Alan García.

Cao: Health Care Vote Was Proper Decision For My District
Appearing on State of the Union, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) explained his vote for the House health care bill. "I felt last night's decision was the proper decision for my district even though it was not the popular decision for my party," said Cao, also adding: "A lot of my constituents are uninsured, a lot of them are poor. It was the right decision for the people of my district."
Graham: House Health Care Bill 'Dead On Arrival' In Senate
Appearing on Face The Nation, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) predicted that the health care bill just passed by the House will be "dead on arrival" in the Senate. Graham added: "I just think the construct out of the House and what exists in the Senate is not going to pass, and I hope and pray it doesn't because it would be a disaster for the economy and health care."
