Don't call this disaster Obama's Katrina. Obama says it's like 9/11.
Sorry Mr. President, but I don't think that a terrorist act that killed over 3,000 innocent people can be compared to an accidental oil spill.
But he's not going to miss the chance to make this political. He's going to turn it into a bill that will kill the energy industry.

Here's what he REALLY said, FYI
"In the same way that our view of our vulnerabilities and our foreign policy was shaped profoundly by 9/11 . . . I think this disaster is going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come," Mr. Obama said in an Oval Office interview Friday.

Not exactly the same as is being characterized by the POTUS haters, is it?
In fact, what he said is probably right on the money
If the BP Gulf disaster turns out as badly as it appears it will, it will likely radically alter our thinking about the environment and our energy policy.
I have to give kudos to the right wing noise machine for constantly maintaining a daily talking point. They are experts are picking apart anything Obama says and choosing just the right out-of-context word or phrase that they can pile it on even more. Their audience is so fucking gullible it makes me sick.
