President Barack Obama likened the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to the September 11 attacks in an interview published on the eve of his fourth visit Monday to the stricken region.
"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," he told Politico.com.

Now we know why Obama let this disaster grow! It’s all about power and control and forcing America to adopt more radical socialist schemes that will further destroy our economy and liberties.
Well finally. They’re admitting that it was terrorism. (Does Obama or Rahm know how to SCUBA dive?)
Are you kidding? Rhambo “dead fish”?
See? I told everyone this was an Obama inside job. Now he admits the parallels to 9/11.
As a reminder, in 9/11 and in teh Gulf spill we are expected to believe that burning oil can damage a steel structure. /s
It’s 911 times 100.
Yes, that’s 91,100.
Basically, all of the worst parts of the Bible.
Beck hit it on the nose again today....
Obama’s Chernobyl
So is he calling BP a terrorists organization?
Yea and got my weekly email from Barry earlier today too
excerpt:
“The BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast is the worst environmental disaster of its kind in our nation’s history...
...our work will not end with this crisis...
...move forward on legislation to promote a new economy powered by green jobs, combat climate change, and end our dependence on foreign oil...
We cannot delay any longer, and that is why I am asking for your help.”
Yep politicizing the BP oil spill in the name of “green jobs” and “climate change”.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
He already as much did when he said it was a “man caused disaster” which is what they term terrorism as.
Two things.
1) What an idiotic statement
2) He’s going to use it to ram through economy killing legislation.
He is evil and out to destroy this country.
umm.... yea.. it’s just like it.
on 9-11, GWBush had to worry about an unknown enemy attacking from unknown locations on any of a number of targets using weapons from as mundane as a shoe bomb to nuclear back packs.
on april 20... the gulf rig exploded... a couple of weeks after the ceo and charles schwabb sold 33 and 43% of their shares... the fault of the explosion is unknown. terrorism is currently not on the table. the resultant leak of oil, because it’s not a spill, has been going... unhindered... for 54 days. the length of time is directly related to the scale of the disaster. the reason it has continued to leak so long is due to the inaction by the administration.
hmmm... GWBush had to deal with terrorist hell bent on killing Americans... and 0bama is dealing with an oil leak by issuing legal challenges and threatening companies, never meeting with them of course.
yea, i don’t see the parallels. one was competent response to attacks... the other is a complete lack of response allowing it to get very bad.
He’s just a sick twisted little man-child. He’s got the mental health of a nine year old, and not particularly a smart one.
He honestly can’t understand why you can’t equate the BP Oil Spill with 09/11. To him it’s just two equal tragedies, sans the details.
One was an act of war on the United States by Al Qaeda, and the other was a industrial accident.
Both unfortunate, but miles apart when it comes to valid comparisons.
It is an insult of the highest order to compare the BP Oil Spill to 09/11. It diminishes the acts of 09/11.
What his is trying to do, is vilify BP. This isn’t the way to do it. This is a major screw up for Obama, and he better back off it. He’s going to make folks he doesn’t want to, absolutely furious.
If I were a 09/11 family survivor, this guy would sound like he was on crack cocaine with the comparison.
Actually, this is nowhere near a 911. The cost will be below $100 billion, while 911 cost a half trillion plus a couple wars. Obambi is clutching at staws.
Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s right-hand man: “You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste; it’s an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid.”
A supreme POTUS idiot, that is what Jack Squat Barry is.....nuff said.
