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.

At least the decay is evident, though it would have been more potent if the head had been damaged... ;o]
Reminds me of Sunday School:
The wise man built his house upon a rock.
The wise man built his house upon a rock.
The wise man built his house upon a rock.
And the rain came tumbling down.
Oh, the rain came down and the floods came up.
The rain came down and floods came up.
The rain came down and the floods came up.
And the house on the rock stood firm.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand.
And the rain came tumbling down.
Oh, the rain came down and the floods came up.
The rain came down and floods came up.
The rain came down and the floods came up.
And the house on the sand fell flat.
So, build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.
And his blessings will come down.
His blessings will come down as your praise go up.
His blessings will come down as your praise go up.
His blessings will come down as your praise go up.
So, build your house on the Lord.
Would’ve been much simpler to just make a sand chair instead of a stupid sculpture that doesn’t even resemble jugears.
It just kinda gets ya, don’t it?...
ROTFLMAO!
Socialistic sand castles (at $1 billion a pop)?
...the storm was so strong that its heavy winds blew the rain sideways, pelting the president’s right side.
Haha He’s been pelted from the right side all week long.
Lol
AMEN!
I sent it to my email contacts ..subject line :
From the “YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP” Files
Ouch! Yes!
BRILLIANT!!!!
lol!!!!
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in the tidal destruction the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way. But your new shoes are worn at the heels and your suntan does rapidly peel and your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
That was outside the Convention Center.
Come Monday they will just be pounding sand inside the Convention Center.
This is by far the best thing I’ve read all week. I bet Zero’s feelings are hurt. LMAO!
Do you think it might have been the material? What were they thinking?
The face is way too wide, the ears don’t stick out enough and the head needs to be tilted back.
Other than that, looks great! :)
