Mount Rushmore-Like Obama Sand Sculpture Erected At DNC…

Obama- sand sculpture Mount Rushmore imitation

This one takes the cake.

At the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Charlotte, they will have pictures of such American icons as the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore.

Apparently President Obama has such a high opinion of himself that there is also a sand sculpture of him, erected at the DNC at the EpiCentre entertainment complex, seemingly in imitation of Mount Rushmore. It consists of 15 tons of sand trucked in from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

This raises interesting questions, such as how much must this have cost? What was the effect on the beach, environmentally? And how big an ego do you have to have to try to imitate Mount Rushmore while you are still a sitting president?

Let the jokes begin! Shovel ready job, house built on sand, no graven images, etc…

Word from our inside sources is that the ensuing flack may already have forced them to take this down.

Muslims hosting events to coincide with Charlotte DNC face blowback

In the run-up to the Democratic National Convention, several hundred Muslims attended "Jumah," or Friday prayer, in a park in Charlotte, N.C., as part of an effort to mobilize Muslims and get them engaged in political discourse. But the event sparked some of the same negative reaction that the organizers were hoping to combat.

Organizers said they hoped to use the prayers, a town hall meeting planned for Saturday and cultural festival to open events to non-Muslims and bring attention to problems that they believe disproportionately affect Muslims but are ignored by both political parties.

snip....

In an interview on Fox television on Thursday, Zudhi Jasser, a controversial figure within the Muslim community who calls out "extremists" within his own faith, compared the views of BIMA to the KKK or the Nazi party, urging the DNC to distance itself from the event.

"They clearly are part of the global Islamist movement and really are an insurgency within this country," said Jasser, an Arizona physician who says many American Muslim leaders hope to replace American democracy with rule by Islamic law.

FOUND IT !!!!! (though, interesting, not in Clotte paper as yet)

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/sep/1/rains-wash-away-mount-obama/
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.

Democrats' choice of Charlotte has drawn criticism from unions who don't like North Carolina's labor laws, and the state seems to be tilting away from Democrats politically.

The large Rushmore-style sculpture drew comparisons to Mr. Obama's 2008 convention in Denver, when he accepted his party's nomination on a stage that looked like a Greek temple.

Dems Giving Away Tickets to Obama's Speech
You need to be at Manuel's Tavern by noon Friday.
Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel
former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine,
Newark Mayor Cory Booker
Rep. Barbara Lee of California
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Charlie Gonzalez,
Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Emanuel Cleaver,
Rep. John Lewis of Georgia,
Judy Chu, who is among the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus,
Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut,
Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York,
Rep. Nydia Velasquez of New York,
Rep. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin,
Rep. Allyson Schwartz of Pennsylvania,
Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland.
Joyce Beatty of Ohio
Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii.


I think Cleaver is there to talk about Tea Party members spitting on Dem's, soon after Pelosi tells us the latest news from the spirits she communicates with.
No Maxine Waters? Not Obama's friend - Debbie Wasserman-S? I am surprised that they have not scheduleD Gabbie Giffords..... of course, there is still time.

It looks more like Uncle Remus than Barack Obama.

I wonder when they decided not to build a giant condom?

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, Dems’ keynote speaker, steps into spotlight

snip

“As mayor, Julian Castro has worked tirelessly to move San Antonio forward by building its economy from the middle out, not the top down,” Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, chairman of the Democratic National Convention, said in announcing Mr. Castro’s high-profile speaking slot last last month.

snip


Can’t wait to hear what the ingredients are the Mayor used in his efforts towards building the “economy from the middle out.”

First you need a state, one that fights regulations and taxes to strengthen business.

Next you can add a boatload of federal funds to realign the military base within your town.

Toss in the mega-bucks of health care research growth, stirred up with hopes for tax dollars paying more direct costs.

Then top it off with loads of fossil fuel money from the drilling of the Eagle Ford Shale, you know, that process that uses fracking and produces the CO2.

Maybe Julian Castro will tell us about another secret ingredient or two I’m not aware of. That “middle out” sounds like they BUILD groups of employees demanding higher middle income and the big money just comes running ….build it and they will come.

I know for a fact it was not the mayors money that built the river walk. It was out taxes.

Maybe Rahm Emanuel can talk about all the shootings going on in Chicago and the person that was shot only a block away from 0bama's house...

The good news for Chicago, is that when Obama is defeated in November, he wil bring some secret service agents with him to Chicago
