Obama's 9/11 envy

Only a slimeball, satan worshiping muzzie BASTARD would try to paint 9/11 like this oil spill... FUFUFUFUFUFUbo!

All I can say is, "thank God this isn't a disaster where peoples' lives are at stake, because the death toll would make 9/11 look like a mere statistical irregularity."

Honestly, that comparison hasn't been made often enough - if this were an emergency directly involving peoples' lives, like 9/11 or Katrina - the number of dead and dying would be outrageous, even for liberals to swallow.

Zer0 needs a bunch of Truthers to claim he caused it himself on purpose.

Great comments following that column.

On arrival pleasantries were exchanged... but what was he really thinking?

[2nd Bn, 11th Mar]

Obama: the oil spill is “going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come.”

Uh, No.

It is going to shape how we think about the piss-poor job he doing.

>>Obama feels his beach head slipping away from under his feet from the oncoming tide of public anti-Obama sentiment.<<

Good analogy!

[momtothree]

He is just plain stupid or insensitive at best. Does he even remember 9/11? To make this comparison is heartless to the surviving family members of that day. Top this comment with the fact that they will build a mosque and these people have got to just be pulling their hair out. Unlike THAT day, my children aren’t sleeping with me each night and asking “will they come and kill us?” Just me

I like how you think.

[danamco]

Something like Katrina and Carter’s hostage taking!!!

[danamco]

“BP’s oil rig failure was an ACCIDENT!”

How can we know that for sure???

If a Muslim hijacked an aircraft carrier and crashed it into the rig, killing everyone and causing this mess, then yeah, I can see the comparison.

Dolt.

[sodpoodle]

Speculative, but interesting.

Might explain the *media black-out” and failure to send foreign ships into the GOM to assist in clean-up.

Might also explain the weird incompetence of BP to solve an engineering problem.

Don’t know - over my pay-grade.

Thx for the link.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

What do the oil spill and 911 have in common?

They are both Bush’s fault.

One of the first government’s responses was to send out Swat teams to other rigs, hmmmm???

This is, not to put too fine a point on it, one of the most bizarre things ever said by any president.

Even that's an understatement. Nov. 2012 can't come soon enough. God help us in the meantime.

It is like Carter's Hostage Crisis.....going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and making him toast...............
