Rains wash away Mount Obama in Charlotte, N.C

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.

Keep building your false idols Dems and you aren’t going to like what GOD does next!

Messiah made of sand

Really??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[FlingWingFlyer]

ROTFL!!!! Isaac's REVENGE!

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

[dfwgator]

Waiting for the next Tweet from Samuel L. Jackson.

[Dallas59]

Flags at half staff now?

[Raebie]

And we have more severe storms building to the west. Chance of severe weather every day this week...50%.

I am LMAO.

[NormsRevenge]

So much for a Big Tent approach.

Oh well.. reckun this ought to serve as just one more reminder of the chill winds of change that are whistling thru the nation.. this is symbolic of his agenda,, built of and on sand.

[meyer]

Did they really make a sand telepromptor too?

Side note - looks like some more rain showing up on the radar in the Charlotte area. Let’s hope it’s a real “gully-washer”!

They are ... isn’t it for Neil Armstrong?

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! Good stuff!

[Bob]

Well, at least the TOTUS is unharmed.

Rather prophetic, I would hope, that his base is washing away.

You know they were ecstatic when Isaac was headed towards Tampa.

[lucky american]

Looks like Master Bratek in Stargate SG1 in a business suit

[fhayek]

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

[ConorMacNessa]

ROTFLMAO!! I love it!!!

[ronnie raygun]

You have to be joking. Is there an alter for sacrifices?

[bigbob]

Wish I’d have known, I’d be happy to pound down a few beers and help wash it away...

[hoosiermama]

So are the days of our lives...

A house built on sand....

The Wise and Foolish Builders

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

[Hattie]

Just set an empty chair out there instead. Everyone will know it’s Obama.

[X-spurt]

Some of this shite you could not make up!

[A.A. Cunningham]

rains

[bigbob]

What a horrible sculpture anyway...looks more like Bill Cosby

"The large Rushmore-style sculpture drew comparisons to Mr. Obama's 2008 convention in Denver, when he accepted his party's nomination on a stage that looked like a Greek temple."

It's all rather disturbing for me. It takes me back to my time in central Africa. Strutting petty dictators. Grandiose statuary. Crumbling monuments to kleptocrats. Soaring Greek revival crap housing a central bank completely gutted by corruption, incompetence, and malice of forethought...and it's all happening here.

[illinifan]

Something quite symbolic about the sand washing away. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. Doubt the dems get the symbolism.

[Berlin_Freeper]

You know if they had something like that for Romney - the Vaginas would have been all over it.

[Rider on the Rain]

Just when it seemed he couldn’t get more conceited, he has them build this. It’s almost unbelievable. You can’t make this $hit up.

[DNME]

God speaks in many ways. After Hurricane Isaac drifted west and avoided Tampa, I’ll be watching for a message from the sky when the Dems gather in S.C.

[DanMiller]

Can't they do something? Pretty Please? With Arugula on top?

I had so looked forward to watching the convention with the Obama edifice as a backdrop to President Obama's Nobel Prize Presidential Nomination acceptance speech.

[sneakers]

His ears aren’t big enough.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I like the looks of it, though.

LOL

First the sand sculpture at the Ritz and now this! Just read that it hasn't been confirmed if he will stay over after Thursday's acceptance speech at Bank of America Stadium, but locals are hinting that road restrictions are scheduled next week near the Ballantyne Hotel and Lodge in south Charlotte.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Is anyone else really creeped out by this? These minions built a statue for their messiah. Ive only seen this in Communist countries, they do this in North Korea, never thought I’d see the day where I see this kind of insanity here

God did that.

Is the white sand racist?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Rain and snow doesn't seem to bother these guys.

[piytar]

That proves God’s racist. /libthink

Obama and SUX--perfect together!

[tapatio]

Perfect!

It is suppose to rain all week here,

[omega4179]

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

[omega4179]

God is funny sometimes!
