Quite creepy looking if you ask me. That smile says “I just screwed you over the last 4 years, wait and see what I do to you in the next 4!”<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Rains wash away Mount Obama in Charlotte, N.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Washington Times<\/a>
\nCHARLOTTE, N.C. \u00e2\u20ac\u201d A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama \u00e2\u20ac\u201d an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.
\nWorkers 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.
\nThe 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.
\nDemocrats’ 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.
\nThe 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.
