It seems like you've gotten lost again. John has been asking what, specifically, Obama might have done to reduce the impact of BP's oil spill. Your sandbags are a joke. There are hundreds, thousands of miles of coastline. Why don't they just drain the Gulf? That might be easier.
From: Kenn Smith on 8 Jun 2010 20:15 The real problem isn't with the surface oil which has stretched all agencie's containment capability beyond their limits. Even a doomsday worst case scenario probably wouldn't have been based on a spill of the magnitude lasting this long - there are reasonable limits to advance planning. The real problem is the toxic mix of crude oil and methane floating in "plumes" at depths of up to 3,300 feet. No one ever figured on something like that. The first tar ball to wash up on Pensacola Beach showed up when the surface slick was still ten miles offshore - it was from a subsurface plume for which there is (currently) no defense. No one has the first clue about what will happen to deep sea life forms as those plumes ultimately find bottom and settle. No one really has the first clue about how the deep sea life and the shallower depth life interact or depend on each other. One thing you can bet on. At some intermediate depth one form is in another's food chain. While it may be fun to throw political harpoons back and forth, although I really don't understand the "fun" found in being ugly and insulting - not my gig, You clowns are ignoring the real threat to the planet. Yes, the pictures of oil soaked pelicans and baby sand pipers are sad, the surface damage can and will be repaired over time, either by man or nature. Stopping the onshore flow should be, and is, a high priority. Finding a way to deal with the subsurface damage should be equally as high. The subsurface damage may never be repaired and for a generation could turn the Gulf into the Dead Sea.

That makes you an idiot.
