On Good Morning America this morning, White House adviser David Axelrod said that the Obama administration’s controversial plan to allow more offshore oil drilling is on hold in the wake of the massive spill in the gulf of Mexico.

“No additional drilling has been authorized and none will until we find out what happened here, and whether there was something unique and preventable here,” Axelrod told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.

Axelrod also discussed the new Arizona immigration law on GMA. See video of the whole conversation after the jump.
