6-acre sand portrait takes shape on National Mall

We became a cult-of-personality banana republic early into Obama's first term.

We are now at the "Dear Leader Raises Monuments to himself" phase.

Another unconstitutional waste of scarce resources.

How did it wind up looking like a black man. Blacks represent less than 12% (?) of the population in the latest #'s I've seen. And who's going to pay to have all that sand and dirt removed after the first rain or two?

I wish someone create a mural of me in the dirt using six acres that I can view from my windows.

Nay, that would be tacky.

Looks like a perfect spot for a tornado.
Take out the Lincoln doublewide and the sand insult simultaneously.

How much is the grant he received to do this? How much will it cost the tax payers to return the area to it's previous condition?

  I 'm confused. It 's made up of dozens of faces resulting in the President 's face? That 's creepy. We don 't put the sitting president 's face in public places like that as a national statement. The idea of the art I think is cool and since it was interactive, why not keep it - but for the giant likeness of the President. Can you imagine the outcry if GW would have done something like that?

    We also don't teach little kids to sing songs about our sitting presidents, but they did. It smacks of kim jong ill. Although I did hear last night that kim may have been removed from power while in the hospital for his broken ankles. Unconfirmed reports.

        I think she was asking how Kim Jong-un broke his ankles.
        I'm sure that NK's not saying.

        There are conflictig reports. One, said his new russian-made heels and obesity causes his ankles to fracture after a grueling tour of..(lost the article. Don’t know what he was touring.)
        Second report said his ankles are swollen and blistered because he suffers from gout. Now, that he has been hospitalize expect him to slip into a coma and die. The NK’s are starving; I believe this is a beautiful coup.
