CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention. Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade. Democrats' choice of Charlotte has drawn criticism from unions who don't like North Carolina's labor laws, and the state seems to be tilting away from Democrats politically.

God sends rain on the just and the unjust.
Guess not.
Why anyone with a brain would plan anything this big (convention) outdoors in September in North Carolina are really stoopid.
Obamandius.
24 “Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; 25 and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; 27 and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it.” 28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, (RSV, MAT 7:24-28)
Sure hoping that holds true Thursday night.
It is sort of like Obama’s sand castle economy.
Portends of November '12 when his whole regime will be washed away like the Egyptians in the Red Sea!!!
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Matthew 7:26-27
Isaac’s revenge.
As a matter of fact; there is a ‘flash flood warning’ out for the Charlotte area right now...what’s that word? Schaden...schaden...

Quick sand!
My first inclination is to make a belt sander comment, but instead I'll simply post:
Why does it have a Myrtle Beach button on?
Seen the before picture?
I wonder how twitter @SandObama is doing.
And we want these people for four more years?
That’s where the sand came from.
The entire thing is weird.
