No mentions of regulations, oversight in Obama’s TX memorial speech
“Trying and difficult days”
In the speech he gave at yesterday’s memorial in Waco Texas for the victims of last week’s deadly fertilizer plant explosion, President Barack Obama made no mention of the role that regulatory oversight – or lack thereof – may have played in the tragedy.
Many of the 14 people killed in the blast were first responders who hurried to battle the blaze that preceded the explosion. Their caskets, draped in large American flags, were present at the memorial, which was held at Baylor University.
