Rains wash away Mount Obama in Charlotte, N.C
Washington Times ^ | 9/1/2012 | Stephan Dinan

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.

Omigosh, I hadn’t thought of it that way! Good for you for pointing it out! Looks like the Obama worshippers don’t know about/observe the First Commandment.

Look at the lyric bubbles over the singers’ mouths! Too bad the RNC was first, as this would have brought down the house!

“Messiah made of sand” - excellent analogy, brother.

That song was the first thing that came to my mind when I read this story:

“The wise man built his house upon the rock (3x)
and the rain came tumbling down.

“The rain came down and the flood came up (3x)
and the house on the sand stood firm

“The foolish man built his house upon the sand (3x)
and the rain came tumbling down.

“The rain came down and the flood came up (3x)
and the house on the sand went ‘whoosh’”

is it even LEGAL to remove 1.5 tons of sand from Myrtle beach? what about beach erosion and protection?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There is an exemption from the ecological rules if the sand is used for religious purposes./S

It’s kind of funny, I have posted that pic several other places and no one even noticed that I supersized the ears.

Maybe because I just made them the correct size!

Maybe....just maybe...it’s a portent of things to come.

Let’s hope so. I think we’ve had enough of the Imperial Presidency of this jerk and his freeloading wife.

They probably are going to take it back. At least I hope so with ongoing millions spent for replenishment efforts.

"Presenting Obama as a mound of sand was a stroke of symbolic brilliance by the 'RATS!!! I love it!"

Now all that's missing is a steady diet of s**t sandwiches during the DNC.
