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. Democrats' choice of Charlotte has drawn criticism from unions who don't like North Carolina's labor laws, and the state seems to be tilting away from Democrats politically.

Obama's breakfast mounting obama's dinner. Needs garlic.
that Saloon is racist.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Here are the FIVE dishiest things DNC-wise we heard about Thursday:
1. Word is that the Veep aka Joe Biden may be staying in an Eastover estate next week.
Hell be motorcading his way to BofA Stadium on Thursday night, when hell speak before POTUS.
2. A slew of celebs are confirmed for the three VIP events sponsored by the Creative Coalition, an advocacy group for the entertainment biz. Among the attendees: Patricia Arquette, Alfre Woodard, John Leguizamo, Beau Bridges, Rose Byrne, Tim Daly and Tony Shalhoub.
But our fav: Wayne Knight, Seinfelds nemesis on THE greatest of sitcoms. Say it with me: Hello, Newman.
3. The Daily Show has decided on a theme for its shows at Charlottes ImaginOn. Ready? DNC 2012: Hope and Change 2.
4 . Hug-A-Thug, the N.C. AFL-CIO is calling it. On Labor Day, at uptowns CarolinaFest, union members will give out free hugs the tongue-in-cheek thug label is meant to break down stereotypes of union members.
5. This from our wacky neighbors in that other Carolina: VisitMyrtleBeach.com had 15.5 tons of S.C. sand dropped at the EpiCentre this week.
No, not for the protesters. For Team Sandtastic four sand sculptors who will create a 16-foot-high work of art outside the Blackfinn Saloon that sponsors say will be mighty presidential.

That can’t be real? If it is the democrats need to say a prayer of thanksgiving the scupture won’t be on display. It exceeds even the greek columns for sheer comedy value.
We could care less about Sand Obama. HOW IS THE CHAIR?
Variously known as Baja Carolina or Carolina Junior. There's a rivalry and a little bad blood, historically speaking. Eyebrows were raised and some weren't pleased to see Myrtle Beach attempting to piggyback upon this.
Where on Facebook?
I heard that song in Sunday School in the early 70’s.
Well......so much for shovel ready jobs.
Ping!
Guess that makes Obama 1 ton shy of a full load. I always knew there was something wrong with the guy.

Actually, Tennessee Ernie Ford did the famous version...
The Democrats have got to be running out of piles of sh*t to step in...
So, you want to be the one who tells Obie ?; “we better not do that bigger-than-life sand sculpture of you. “
Big Tent=Circus
This is what I don’t understand.
In the last election with all the Obama t-shirts, posters with his face etc..., I felt as though I was living in a 3rd rate, 3rd world dictatorship.
Did they not understand how creepy this is? It’s like Saddam Hussein, Joseph Stalin, (fill in the black with your favorite dictator).
I refuse to ever worship a human being.
To continue with the play on words. Remember the John Wayne film, “The Sands of Iwo Jima”? The Charlotte convention could be called “The Sands of Obama Jumah” (Jumah, the DNC-sanctioned day of prayer yesterday ... that was also a wash-out).
lolol *snicker snicker*
Post of the thread.
Cheers!
