The Sand Man Cometh
Democratic National Convention, Obama, Mount Rushmore
The Obama Campaign Team, who went from what looked like a 2008 Greek Temple to a sand sculpture of Obama in an imitation of Mount Rushmore, thought they were being one upmanship-cute, but unwittingly delivered the Other Side a big favour.
And not just because the bottom of the sand bust of Obama that will greet delegates to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) was washed away by Saturday rains and had to be last-minute repaired.
“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.” (Washington Times, Sept. 1, 2012) “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 rainstorm 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.
Even the rain seems to know that Obama has no right side.
The idea of workmen having to work furiously to restore Obama’s sand sculpture even as those intoning Jumah prayers were making the bold claim that the Muslims and not Columbus discovered America, is downright laughable.
Only the conceit of Obama would approve a mammoth sand sculpture of himself, erected at the EpiCentre entertainment complex at the DNC. Only Obama would pictorially insert himself at Mount Rushmore and compete with the Statue of Liberty in an icon made from 15 tons of sand that had to be truckled in from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Hey!…….sandman is one word DUDE!!!
