Obama's Oil Spill Update: Clean-Energy Future (VIDEO)

WATCH: Obama's Rally Cry For Clean-Energy Future

In his latest update on the Gulf oil spill, President Obama uses clean energy as a rallying cry for Organizing for America supporters. Obama discusses efforts underway to clean up the Gulf coast, contain the spill, and restore the losses of those residents affected by the disaster.

Obama takes the opportunity to encourage the passing effective energy and climate legislation, which is further than he went in his oval office address on the Gulf. He calls on people to pledge support for a clean-energy future. "The tragedy unfolding on our coast is the most painful and powerful reminder yet that the time to embrace a clean-energy future is now," Obama says.

The message is part of Obama's efforts to tie to crisis in the gulf to the country's dependence on fossil fuels.
