So what on earth could the president have been thinking?
The first possibility is that there is some kind of perverse wish being expressed in these words. They have a wistful quality, as though the president wished he had a different crisis, a more popular crisis, on his hands.
… What the deployment of the 9/11 analogy suggests is that Obama would like to treat BP as though it were al Qaeda, at least rhetorically — a villain for him to confront on behalf of the wounded American people.
That may seem politically shrewd to Obama and his team, but it will have parlous consequences. The analogy muddies and obfuscates.
By comparing an unwanted disaster to a conscious act of war, Obama is adding an improper moral dimension to the effort to clean up the Gulf — a moral reckoning that will make it harder rather than easier to focus on the task of actually plugging the damn hole.
By likening the murder of 3,000 people and the efforts to take out the US government to a series of mistakes that added up to a catastrophe, Obama has defined evil down in a fashion that does immense violence to good sense, good taste and good leadership.

9/11 families' fury as Obama compares BP oil spill to Twin Towers attack..British families of 9/11 victims described Barack Obama as ‘cruel’ yesterday for comparing the terrorist outrage to the BP oil spill.
The U.S. president said there were ‘echoes’ between the Gulf of Mexico disaster and the Al Qaeda suicide attacks which killed 2,995 people, including 67 Britons.
He said that just as the events of September 11, 2001, had profoundly shaped ‘our view of our vulnerabilities and our foreign policy’, so the oil disaster would shape thinking on the environment and energy for years to come.
Those who lost loved ones when terrorists flew hijacked planes into the Twin Towers of New York’s World Trade Centre said Mr Obama’s remarks were yet another attempt to slur the UK.

Strange how BP is 39% American owned, why does he not mention this,Obama is a bad leader and a lapdog for the N.W.O. probably a muslim too..word is on the streets that he is allowing a Mosque to be constructed next to the twin towers.or the site where the WTC stood before the attacks..now if true it is the ultimate slap on the face to western democracy and to the souls and memories of the victims of 9/11 and the victims of global jihad perpetuated by Mohammedans worldwide against us the KHUFFARS.. |

The British are shaking their heads in wonder at this, from the President of the biggest gas guzzling nation in the world and the last of the developed nations to come to the table on the global environment.
On top of this onslaught against BP, is the knowledge (at least in the UK) that ONLY American companies are licenced to drill in these waters and that Haliburton (an American company) is the operator of the rig. |

No one has done this much damage to America since Al Qaida. And, it isn't over yet. Not even close. If the Brits want to equate themselves as a nation with BP, that's on them. Obama never said so. |

From what I understood from the part President Obama's speech you're referring to, he was only trying to make the point that the USA has a lot on their plate right now. Maybe I'm wrong, but I wasn't under the impression he was comparing the spill to acts of war or terrorism.
However, BP needs to be reprimanded for their utter greed and carelessness. Why would they think that they can go ahead and drill in an area with tons of wildlife and sources of income for so many people without having a plan to clean up an oil spill if one should happen, or better yet have a plan to stop oil from spilling if there is a leak? On top of it all, BP doesn't even really seem to care about what's going on... Their president or whatever was on the news whining that "he hasn't slept in months" because of the oil spill in the gulf. Why is the world supposed to worry about his sleep when him and his company just ruined the income of god knows how many people for the next year or more, and killed all those animals?
I guess what I'm getting at is, people are really ignoring the issue behind this spill. For WEEKS after the spill there was this "investigation" that was taking place. What came of this "investigation"?
In my opinion, It's BP's fault (primarily) and it SHOULD JUST BE FIXED AND CLEANED UP |
