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.

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.”

(Exodus 20:4-6)

“The one where the little people made the statue of the astronaut as their god? “

Exactly!

They are so in love with themselves that it's sickening.

You didn't build that, did you? LOL! I love it! THX.

When was that 2008? 2009? I’m guessing 2008 that’s when the press and other morons thought he was going to heal the planet and lower the sea levels.

Yes, and isn't it racist?

It reminded a neighbor of "the golden calf."

[potlatch]

Lol, yes I did build that - long ago and far away, it seems!
Thanks Daffy!
