Yea, so I saw this on Drudge and thought I would share...Kind of reminiscent of the bible story of the man who built his house on sand...
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 of the waist-up rendering of the chief executive.
The sand sculpture was protected from above, and Mr. Obama's face didn't see too much damage. But the storm was so strong that its heavy winds blew the rain sideways, pelting the president's right side and leaving the sand pockmarked and completely erasing his right elbow.

To me it doesn't look anything like the evil, vile president. I wonder if it was supposed to be a caricature?.
ReplyDeleteThe person who sculpted it really didn't do BO any justice..it looks like a gross representation. if they really wanted to capture his essance, they should have done it with that "smug smirk" he always has on his face...
