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.

The Dictator: Why do autocrats do strange things?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17990615

“Dictators can become self-delusional in a way, and think ‘whatever I do is ok’,” says Fred Coolidge, a psychology professor at the University of Colorado, who has profiled Kim Jong-il, Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler.

I think this shows the DemocRAT insensitivity towards all of those living on the gulf coast who watched their sandy beaches being washed out to sea by Isaac this week. It’s like the ‘RATS saying, “Sand! We got sand!”

Is this supposed to be a good likeness of Obama??? This sculpture looks like a cartoon character.

They were trying to capture the true essence of Obama's character.

I think they have done a fine job.

Really beyond tone deaf. The American Idol bad singer who thinks they are great syndrome. They are turning themselves into laughing stocks and can’t see it....like someone wearing a big goofy hat or something.

Wow! That is seriously creepy!

If a Republican had made the same statue, then they would call it RACIST!

....well (no pun intended)...that’s 16 tons of sand that could have been used to frack an oil well....produce some decent oil and gas revenue.
