As promised in last night’s address to the nation, President Obama met with the top executives of BP today and negotiated a $20 billion escrow fund for Gulf oil claims. It will be handled by veteran attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who oversaw payments to the survivors of the attacks on September 11. Cheryl Gay Stolberg is White House Correspondent for the New York Times.
