My first inclination is to make a belt sander comment, but instead I'll simply post:
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Matthew 7:26-27
Isaac’s revenge.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. In the calm before Charlotte’s political whirlwind hits, thousands of area residents filed by huge-screen images of Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty at the Time Warner Cable Arena and marveled at what lies ahead.
Organizers billed Friday’s public tour of the convention hall as the first of three free public events to thank Charlotteans for their support.
Monday brings CarolinaFest 2012, a street festival in uptown Charlotte featuring musical performers, children’s activities and vendors.
On Thursday, thousands of campaign volunteers and members of the public will attend Obama’s acceptance speech at Bank of America Stadium.
Elsie Davis of Charlotte, 55, waited in line for seven hours last weekend to get tickets for the president’s speech and came to the arena preview tour.
“It’s amazing that we can just come in here,” she said. “It’s like we’re a part of it.”
Charlotte resident Sheila Cummings agreed. “To know I can look at the TV and say I was there ... it’s amazing,” she said.
Organizers budgeted $7 million to prepare the arena, which will seat 15,000.

A fitting bit of imagery to follow that provided by a certain movie icon a couple of days ago.

I googled "SAND SCULPTURE", and aside from this particular one, there another sand thingy of him that was near a hotel -- that was removed 2 days ago, because of security problems.

Unless they were intentionally going for a Michael Jackson look they should have imported the sand from Punaluu Beach in Hawaii.
Over one hundred posts and no one has made any jokes or comments about pounding sand?!
GOP goes along with it, calls him a nice guy....
The Clint/Harvey/Obama talk brought Obama down from their pedestal. Just a man who isn't doing the job. Time to let him go.
