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.

And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, [27] And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

Thanks KansasGirl.
...an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention...
Nobody's got a gun to their head, and Zero thinks conventions are unnecessary. And elections, for that matter.

It’s official. I now believe that no politicians should ever have their likeness done in sand. LOL

I’ll be watching for a message from the sky when the Dems gather in S.C.

Please, the DNC convention is in Charlotte, NC. We don’t want that down here in the other Carolina. :)

The dems really are in the dark. Roman columns.... roll back the rising seas..... nobama in sand!!!
Can not wait to see the outlandish things that will come out of their convention. May need several sips of a nice peaty tasting adult beverage to be able to watch much of the venom and hate.

Don’t say that around Reggie Love. He might do it.
