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.

Not a dig...photoshop. Someone, our side, added it.

LOL

For some reason, Muddy Waters comes to mind. ‘Charlottetown Blues?’

“...workers were pounding...sand”
How appropriate!

That’s just so horrible in so many ways. It’s so bad that it could almost be a gift from the GOP. It would be great if the workers were wearing Romney T-shirts.

pray for torential rain.

Sand sculpture? So are these the shovel-ready jobs that were promised?

A foolish man builds his monuments out of sand.

Good show!

[Lady Jag]

That looks nothing like him. It’s not even a good cartoon!

[spokeshave]

Not to worry...Michelle la Belle Antoinette Obama is on the SEIU clean up crew..

[Oceander]

The democrats' golden-calf idol of Obama got washed away by a higher power? That's too funny!

I find it absolutely sickening, that in this country, in this day and age, so many people would succumb to a cult of personality, like Obama. The fact that his Image is being used like that, when I visited 2nd world sh*tholes around the world, thats how campaigns were waged, with images of the person. I dont recall the last time a persons image was used to such an extent here.. maybe I am wrong, but I get that sick feeling that my country is going down that route.

[greeneyes]

LOL. What’s that song kids used to sing at church about building a house on the sand and the wise man built a house on a rock? Anyone know what I’m talking about?

[Paradox]

That does not look like Obama.. actually it looks like Curious George. Racist sand artists...

“You know if they had something like that for Romney - the Vaginas would have been all over it.”

Good thing they never did that for Clinton! (doesn’t matter which Clinton, either!/s;)
