I do not think that the reference to echoing 9/11 was problematic as rhetoric. However, the President suggested that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico echoed 9/11 and then stated that the seafood from the Gulf of Mexico is safe to eat. Without meaning to, the President may have inadvertently echoed the EPA’s advisories shortly post-9/11 that the air around Ground Zero was safe to breathe - which turned out to be wrong at the time.
