Operators of a Jersey Shore boardwalk game have removed a mannequin representing President Barack Obama.
It has been replaced by effigies of former President George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton.

"It???s just to show we???re not anti-Democrat or anti-Republican," Tommy Whalen told The Star-Ledger. He's the manager of Lucky Leo???s where the "Walkin Charlie" game debuted this summer.

The game requires patrons to throw baseballs at plates held by the rotating caricatures.

A plastic bag -- pink -- was placed over the Obama character's head after some people earlier this week said it was disrespectful to use the president's likeness.

    Yes -- certain it was his likeness which people found offensive.

    Yeah, some "likeness." Yikes.

    And that "watermelons on the White House lawn" email has been going around again.

    It does have a "Sambo" type look to it, which is offensive, IMO.
