[quote=UCGal]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.[/quote]
I agree that it seems the media has paid little attention to the 11 people who died, however I’ve been watching a lot of the hearings on CSPAN since this all began and it’s my observation that almost every congressperson, senator and witness has paid their respects to the lives that were lost, before beginning their testimony or questioning. Unfortunately these heartfelt expressions do not make it to the headline news.
