DNC Erecting Creepy Giant Obama Sculpture

Forget the marble pillars, this time there will be a giant 16-foot sculpture of Obama made out of 15.5 tons of sand at the Democratic National Convention. Building a giant sand sculpture of a living leader might be considered a bit tacky with its worshipful implications, but building one during a hurricane in South Carolina is in particularly bad taste.

But if nothing else, at least Obama has found one “Shovel Ready Project”. And this isn’t even the creepiest giant Obama sand sculpture ever made. The winner of that particular competition is still Sudarsan Pattnaik with this nightmare made out of sand.

Seriously, to me it looks like the Obama campaign is continuing its 2008 theme of Obama as Lincoln.

Last time, it was the giant columns outside the Lincoln Memorial. This time, he's recreating the giant Abraham Lincoln sitting in his chair at the Lincoln Memorial.

And another view and another article:

Creepy... DNC Workers Complete Sand Sculpture of Obama in Imitation of Mt. Rushmore

Apparently President Obama has such a high opinion of himself that there is also a sand sculpture of him, erected at the DNC at the EpiCentre entertainment complex, seemingly in imitation of Mount Rushmore. It consists of 15 tons of sand trucked in from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

This raises interesting questions, such as how much must this have cost? What was the effect on the beach, environmentally? And how big an ego do you have to have to try to imitate Mount Rushmore while you are still a sitting president?"

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

Agree 100%, /sig. Even my non-political brother thinks something’s brewing.

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Over the next couple of months we are going to see (or maybe not, but they will still happen) things that you never thought you'd see happen in America.

Just wait until Dec. 21. The day the 'takeover' is made official.

It looks like Alfred E. Neuman, as did the figure in Obama’s tribute to Neil Armstrong. Obama is the stuff of stupid.

The sculptors captured the expression Obamao has when listening to a speech by Ahmadinejad.

None of the usual anger and condescension.
