I think the President's point is completely valid. Three-mile Island changed the way we looked at nuclear power. 9/11 changed the way we look at national security. Deep Horizon will change the way we look at oil.
Might I add, and this is only my opinion, we went in the wrong direction after three mile island which lead to the problems we now face with oil. We went in the wrong direction after 9/11 which lead to the problems we now face in the ME. Undoubtedly, we will go in the wrong direction because of this and will create even more trouble. What's the right direction? I haven't a clue. All I know is there's too much politics in this spill for them not to fuck this up.
