No. That’s not my opinion. Obviously the President has many priorities and time commitments.

But people aren’t talking about the lives lost when this first happened. 11 families were torn asunder. There are no public funerals the way there were with the miners. There is little media attention to the fact that 11 people died. The media and political focus has been on the environmental disaster. Don’t get me wrong, the environmental damage is epic and deserves attention – but it’s like we forgot the people.
