After Clint Eastwood’s ad-libbed conversion with an empty chair last night at the Republican National Convention, it didn’t take long for Invisible Obama to appear on (and, ahem, disappear from) Twitter. But Invisible Obama is so last night; say hello to Sand Obama.

As sand sculpture firm “Team Sandtastic” put the finishing touches on a 16-foot sculpture of President Barack Obama outside of the EpiCentre in Charlotte, N.C., Sand Obama made a command appearance on Twitter right on schedule.
@victoriaspechko I am still waiting for my sand teleprompter before I can comment.

A giant Mount Rushmore-like sculpture of the president? What cult of personality?

Thats just the scale model. Real one will be bigger than Cthulhu's palace MT @laurww: It's not a cult. It's not a cult. http://t.co/bi5Jz9VO

@angela3t It looked better on the golf course. Everyone knows you can't have a golf course without a sand trap.

@SandObama Nice pic, but you're looking a little grainy.

Hi! It's been a while since the oceans have receded, that's why. RT @victoriaspechko: Nice pic, but you're looking a little grainy.

As if to prove that Sand Obama is his own man, the sculpture engaged the president himself.
