//Only until they could attach tow lines to it to keep it on site.//
You think they could have put enough lines on it to keep it afloat?

Why have a contingency plan when you can blame Bush?
Barak Petroleum doesn't need one.

We have the biggest scumbag ever elected ...playing games while this disaster spews out another million gallons of sludge every day.
If this was off the coast of Kenya, you bet your ass he would be in the water helping to clean it up. But this is just the US, so who gives a shit.
Well Obama, we the people will have a congress in place ready to take care of your ass in November.

You think they could have put enough lines on it to keep it afloat? I don't know. Maybe enclosed barges could have been tied up alongside to help keep it afloat.
Getting the pumps going or attaching hose lines to remove water or pump air or expanding foam into the compartments, possibly from underneath, may have been a possibility.
The time to call in the experts (certainly not me) was immediately after the blowout occurred and before it sank after 36 hours elapsed. The US Navy has personnel trained to keep a burning vessel afloat and additional resources that could have been made available.
Below is an imaged of her being transported...

After studying the picture a bit, I think someone had to work at getting her to sink. Those fire boats probably helped. I hate to imagine she was intentionally scuttled...

What could he have done that would be of any practical benefit?
Every time he speaks he promises "not to rest" until he fixes the problem ... as a matter of fact he seems to do little more than "rest" and vacation and make speeches ... IMHO. ;-)

Great Pic.
Thanks. You can do it, too. Just a quick and dirty version in Photoshop.
