NJ Shore Game with Obama Target - We want to add Hillary, Palin & Bush

People playing the "Walkin Charlie" game in Seaside Heights can win a prize if they knock a plate out of the turntable targets, which include Obama depicted with exaggerated ears and smile.

The creator, Tom Whalen, said he added the caricatures of Obama, the Joker, Michael Jackson and others to liven up the tried-but-tired carnival Plate Pitch carnival game.

"When Jay Leno stands up and makes a crack about Obama or another political person, not everybody claps their hands and cheers," Whalen said Tuesday. "We don't have a bull's-eye on anyone's head or chest. Each caricature is holding a couple of plates, and the object is to break the plates."

The head of the Obama figure has now been covered up with a paper bag because of all the attention, he said. And his half-brother, who owns the concession, is considering removing it, he said.

Whalen said he planned to add Sarah Palin, Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President George W. Bush.

As operator Utuk Coban, of Turkey, waits for customers, caricatures of The Joker, left, Saddam

If they add Palin & Bush, does that make the operator in pic a terrorist?
