It was just a bit ill-advised in terms of timing.
Or perhaps "politically insensitive" might be a better term for it. Compared to the people who were seeing their incomes pretty thoroughly wiped out by the spill, his problems were almost trivial. He's not dependent on fishing for his living, or on running a seaside resort. No matter what, he's already got enough money to last his lifetime. He's not going to face foreclosure and bankruptcy. To those who are, it's a bit of a slap, ya know?
