The sand sculpture of President Obama that looked a little like an addition to Mount Rushmore has been washed away in a rainstorm, thus depriving Democrats of a place to worship their leader.

Just like Obama, the sand has no spine

Well it could have been worse-what if it had been SNOW?;)
did they call the secret service?
Build the idols.
God was telling us what He thinks of them.
That is what I told my husband.. That looks like “Budha”
That’s what I heard too!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. So it appears the rumors of the demise of a sand sculpture in the likeness of President Barack Obama have been a bit exaggerated.
Well, there ought to be enough sand there for each Democrat to pack up his or her donkey.
Obama in whiteface? Now THAT would be racist!!
yeh- i heard it was rebuilt...
