DNC Erecting Creepy Giant Obama Sculpture
FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | Aug 31st, 2012 | Daniel Greenfield

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.

Ozymandias

BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

I met a traveller 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.”

How long before we start to hear clamoring for an Obama statue to be erected on the mall in Washington, DC?

By Mayo Clinic staff
“Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”

So, why are the sculptors all white? They don't represent America! I'd also like proof that the Sculptors Union approved and oversaw this job.

Okay, call me stupid; however, it is getting kind of difficult now a days to see the difference between what is real and what is satire.

Which one is it?

P.S. I haven’t finished reading all the posts yet.

Excellent find! THX. Wonder how much the jet fly-over is going to cost us?

Looks like Al Jolson doing his ‘black face’ and jazz hands.

I was just about to post the same.

The word IDOLIZATION comes to mind here. I looked for a better photo of this sand sculpture. What I found was a very large variety of sculptures of Obama. It seemed excessive, so I decided to do a search on Reagan vs Obama sculptures.

Here are those search results.

Reagan

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&cr=&safe=images&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&q=obama%20sculpture&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=yVFCUOuNMYqPigL7poHoDQ&biw=1600&bih=833&sei=01FCUNquFK7TigLzrYDADg#um=1&hl=en&lr=&tbs=isz:l&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=reagan+sculpture&oq=reagan+sculpture&gs_l=img.3...56.1321536.5.1322243.7.1.6.0.0.0.86.86.1.1.0...0.0...1c.-qZ7b6RWntA&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=882510582f67f69f&biw=1600&bih=833

Obama

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&cr=&safe=images&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&q=obama%20sculpture&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=yVFCUOuNMYqPigL7poHoDQ&biw=1600&bih=833&sei=01FCUNquFK7TigLzrYDADg

Don’t forget to hit the “show more results” button at the bottom of what you might have thought would be the end of the Obama sculptures.

Geez Lefties, Obsess much?

One thing the Rats might have overlooked; it will provide some very good pictures and symbolism as it crumbles down and gets removed.

Your’e not alone in wondering if this is satire believe me! While it wouldn’t surprise me if Obama thought this was a good idea, surely someone on his campaign team would realize how creepy it is I would think. Maybe not....

I’d say it depends on whether ten aircraft will be enough or not?

These days it seems like every 2-bit sporting event has one, so apparently the budget considers it in the category of enlistment/recruitment advertising?

Built my life on sand.

Very appropriate for the twit in the oval office, Zaphod Beeblebrox, er. I mean Barack Obama.
