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.

Last time, it was the giant columns outside the Lincoln Memorial. This time, he's recreating the giant Abraham Lincoln sitting in his chair at the Lincoln Memorial.

I’m shrinking!
That ain't all that's crooked.
Hey Sandmen, don’t forget the fly on his lip.
Creepy... DNC Workers Complete Sand Sculpture of Obama in Imitation of Mt. Rushmore
Apparently President Obama has such a high opinion of himself that there is also a sand sculpture of him, erected at the DNC at the EpiCentre entertainment complex, seemingly in imitation of Mount Rushmore. It consists of 15 tons of sand trucked in from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
This raises interesting questions, such as how much must this have cost? What was the effect on the beach, environmentally? And how big an ego do you have to have to try to imitate Mount Rushmore while you are still a sitting president?"
You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
Feet of clay, policies based on shifting sand. How appropriate
A Nerf Supersoaker or two would do wonders......
“I’m melting....!!!”
Gads. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse.

Image Of Barack Obama To Be Added To Mt. Rushmore
Agree 100%, /sig. Even my non-political brother thinks something’s brewing.
Is it me, or does the guy standing behind Stalin look like he’s about to shove that RPG up his *ss?
I met a traveler 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.
Anybody got a pic of Mussolini?
Just wait until Dec. 21. The day the 'takeover' is made official.
It looks like Alfred E. Neuman, as did the figure in Obama’s tribute to Neil Armstrong. Obama is the stuff of stupid.
None of the usual anger and condescension.
