Sand sculptor Larry Hudson said it took a team of five people about 3 days to finish the sculpture, which shows the president with his arms crossed and smiling broadly. Hudson said the sculptors finished Saturday just before a large thunderstorm struck, requiring touch-ups.

I didn’t think 0 would let anything happen to that.
Would love to see this overrun by stray cats doing their business.
That is one ugly sand sculture. I don’t care for Obama, but I think he is a bit better looking than that.
It is a hoot that it’s so ugly. When the rains come tomorrow, it’ll be full of rivulets.
Why is Charlotte advertising Myrtle Beach? Just asking.
A well placed bucket of water will do it.
Longer article:
“A 25-foot sand sculpture of President Barack Obama brings some of the beach to the Democratic National Convention’s host city. But landlocked Charlotte is nearly 200 miles from the ocean - and the sand is actually from a mine in South Carolina.”
It cost $30,000. Hmmmm, how many homeless could they have fed with that money?
I know now, that I will never visit Myrtle Beach.
Background, Image, Program, Economy, Jobs, Debt, Credit Rating all built on sand...
Meanwhile Obambi thinks he is some sort of dictator
and will be swept into the dustbin of history by the coming Tsunami
All of the sand used to create this 16 ton turd was taken from Myrtle Beach.
It’s all in the eye of the beholder:
“Harper said she sees lots of sand around her home in Las Vegas, “but nothing like that good looking president.””
Why is Charlotte advertising Myrtle Beach? Just asking.
Be a great place for the OWS crowd to go...
We should tune in to the Romney and Ryan show. The myth of a democratic socialist society funded by capitalism is finished.

“What is being challenged is nothing less than the most basic premise of the politics of the centre ground: that you can have free market economics and a democratic socialist welfare system at the same time. The magic formula in which the wealth produced by the market economy is redistributed by the state - from those who produce it to those whom the government believes deserve it - has gone bust.
It (the message) was just a reassertion of the basic values of American political culture: self-determination, individual aspiration and genuine community, as opposed to belief in the state as the fount of all social virtue. Romney caught this rather nicely in his acceptance speech, with the comment that the US was built on the idea of “a system that is dedicated to creating tomorrow’s prosperity rather than trying to redistribute today’s.” Or as Marco Rubio put it in his speech, Obama is “trying ideas that people came to America to get away from”.”
Is it just me or does this look like the black cop in Diehard?
Not a very good advert for the artist,
