Actually the sculpture was made by a team for the Myrtle Beach, S.C. - as in VisitMyrtleBeach.com - as a tourism advertisement since so many from Charlotte go there.

See:
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 1, 2012: Myrtle Beach, S.C., Brings Obama Sand Sculpture to Charlotte for DNC 2012 | PRNewswire | Rock Hill Herald Online

Some of our Republican friends make out like the DNC is creating the sculpture to praise Obama - but they really should not make stuff up.

Subtle symbolism for the American economy......

That started a looonng time ago - enter Greenspan, and blowing a bubble after the dot.com collapse. Add some Enron, ignoring malfeasance where regulation did exist, let Wall St. flllyyy, hugely increase the shadow banking balance sheet (thank-you Phil Graham et. al.), income erosion, a couple of unfunded wars ... voila ! An intractable mess that was and is estimated will take about a decade to correct (unless we go the route of Japan, or the Eurozone).

At least, barring a disastrous mitigating circumstance, we are presently on track to be adding 250,000 jobs a month by 2016 (Moody's Analytics).

Voting for someone = worship.

Got it. :doh:

You're only half right.

It's voting for someone while you have a tingle running down your leg.

Well, all I can say to Moody is, if you're gonna dream, then dream big. :doh:

The economy is not going to improve while we have.......that man......in office.

It's creepy because Obama is still alive. It just comes across wrong having this huge sculpture of yourself (a bit narcissistic).

Pretty much. People make statues, etc. for people after they're dead or (to a lesser extent) out of office, but this is just creepy. When did North Korea start loaning some of KJI's artists out?

Too bad it's raining it away. The image of the crowd chanting his name would with that in the background have been hilarious... and very creepy.
