Barack HUSSEIN Obama: Gulf spill "echoes 9/11" ~ He Thinks So Little Of 9/11 and Compares It To An Oil Spill!
Obama: Gulf spill 'echoes 9/11'
Sounding reflective as he heads into a bruising electoral season, President Barack Obama told POLITICO columnist Roger Simon that the Gulf disaster “echoes 9/11” because it will change the nation’s psyche for years to come.
Obama — facing mounting criticism of his handling of the BP gusher, even from longtime allies — vowed to make a “bold” push for a new energy law even as the calamity continues to unfold. And he said he will use the rest of his presidency to try to put the United States on a course toward a “new way of doing business when it comes to energy.”
“In the same way that our view of our vulnerabilities and our foreign policy was shaped profoundly by 9/11,” the president said in an Oval Office interview on Friday, “I think this disaster is going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come.”
Previewing his message for the midterm congressional elections in November, the president said: “[T]he Democrats in Congress have taken tougher votes, have worked harder under more stressful circumstances, than just about any Congress in our memory. And they’ve done a great job and deserve reelection.”
“So I’m going to be fighting on their behalf and doing everything I can and using my bully pulpit to communicate that fact to the American people,” he said. “I know there’s an anti-incumbent mood out there right now because … people are frustrated about the hit that the economy has taken. … But what I’m going to remind people of is we didn’t create this mess. And this Congress responded forcefully at a time when this economy really could have fallen off a cliff.”
Obama acknowledged that the results will help determine the course of his term’s second half. “I am spending some time thinking about 2010 because, obviously, my ability to get things done on behalf of the American people depends on a Congress that is willing to cooperate,” he said.
In his firmest declaration yet that he views the calamity as an impetus to push Congress afresh to pass a major energy and climate bill, Obama vowed to “move forward in a bold way in a direction that finally gives us the kind of future-oriented, … visionary energy policy that we so vitally need and has been absent for so long..”

Wild Thing's comment........
AFTER he made the above statements to Politico,"Oil Spill is Like 9-11" … then Obama went golfing for 4 Hours. Let's see 9-11 and golfing yes in Obama's mind they go together.
For Obama to equate an oil spill with the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans at the hands of his islamic brothers is beyond reproach.
He has been part of ridiculing, downplaying and applauding 9/11 ever since he attended Jeremiah Wright’s church.
Obama has done very little to prevent the oil from reaching the shores. Slow to react to Jindal’s requests. No reaction on the booms available in Maine. No reaction to the ships available to scoop up the oil from the sea. Just a pathetic response.
