Heavy rains wash away “Mount Obama” in Charlotte

Heavy rains wash away “Mount Obama” in Charlotte. “A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte on Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.” A fitting metaphor and with any luck, a prediction.

  • Here, here. The washing of the bull shit has begun. Now let us complete the process and complete the job on November 6th.

  • The funny thing is rain is predicted for the area for all next week. I guess the Obummer supporters will have to pay for a building to house the anoited ones sand statue. I wonder if it will look like the Lincoln Memorial?

  • “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV)

  • You'd think that the Nimrods building this sand sculpture would have a blue tarp handy, just in case of rain (it does rain in the Carolinas during the summer).

    But they're Democrats...

  • Kinda Ironic..When the rain was done it looked just like the president laying on the floor..A wet gritty mess with no definition and no character.

  • I'm sure somewhere in Libtard land , some intellectually , morally and for the most part emotionally impaired group of steadfast believers , has come to the conclusion that somehow Bush or some facet of the Tea Party , is to blame for this .

    Or on the other hand , it just gives them another reason to HATE GOD , as this is more proof to all of them that GOD is a racist . GOD help GOD for being a racist .

  • "You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! melting! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness? Oooooh, look out! I'm going! Oooooh! Ooooooh!"

  • OMG!!!!! The Democrats are partying in Charlotte while poor people are drowning in torrential downpours.....
