CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte on 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 of the waist-up rendering of the chief executive.

It didn't look good, anyway. Kind of like the original MLK statue in Denver.

Damn, just keep try'in to twist and spin...
It wasn't a good likeness of oblama, so it's not worth anything, I bet if it was Mitt likeness it would be the best thing to happen to the sculpture.

BTW, aren't most (Yes, generalizing, don't get you're panties in a weggie), "artists", lefties, shouldn't they have gotten somebody who knew what they were doing? And How to make a sculpture of you're demi-god?

You'd had to ask the folks in Myrtle Beach. It's their sand sculpture.

This struck me as politically funny:

The sand sculpture was protected from above, and Mr. Obama's face didn't see too much damage. But the storm was so strong that its heavy winds blew the rain sideways, pelting the president's right side and leaving the sand pockmarked and completely erasing his right elbow.

His left side was left intact. lol

Kinda fun to watch the righties try to turn a sand sculpture into a political statement. Running out of "bash Obama" ideas so soon TPP?

TPP ran out of ideas years ago... That's why he needs the RNC and the Rightie blogs to come up with his daily outrage-of-the-day material.

No, bash just the truth. plenty more truths to follow... Praise you're demi-god oblama.

Question: Whom will you lefties have for you're next demi-god, after oblama is sitting back in Chicago, playing cards with ram & his union connies?

BTW, archer, I was commenting on the post THAT otis started...

So what? First they are running against Invisible Obama and now they are running against Sand Castle Obama...

Maybe I should go put up a sand-castle next to the empty chair in my yard....and hire Clint Eastwood to come over and talk to it?
