US finally accepts international help for Gulf spill

Barack Obama has steadfastly refused oil spill help from countries around the world.


Finally, after 70 days, Mr. Obama is accepting help from 12 countries and international organizations in dealing with the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The State Department said in a statement Tuesday that the U.S. is working out the particulars of the help that's been accepted.

The identities of all 12 countries and international organizations were not immediately announced.

More than 30 countries and international organizations have offered to help with the spill.

Up until now the Obama administration has refused help from abroad while the spill kept getting worse.
