Sorry, but it's a cheap attempt to try to garner public support by using ANY comparison to September 11.
Rick D.
Did he ask for "public support?" Where?
The quote simply, and quite accurately states the facts:
A. 9/11 changed the attitude of the US toward Terrorism
B. Deepwater Horizon changed the attitude of the US toward Off-Shore Drilling
C. Both 9/11 and Deepwater Horizon profoundly effected US attitudes.
The major spill is also something that will have far-reaching effects for a long time, just as the attacks of 911 have. Katrina came thundering through and left untold devastation, but at least we knew how to clean it all up and then rebuild.
I see this latest criticism as just more illiterate nonsense that the far-right can't resist piling on.
So you think the oil leak and 911 is a fair comparison?
