WK Lis: This picture reminds me of Obi-Ron-Kenobe ("You're My Only Hope" as mentioned by the late Carrie Fisher)...
"Obi-Don-Trump" perhaps?
T24: The comments by Carl Paladino about President Barack and Michelle Obama shocked me...
If anyone remembers he ran for NY Governor as a Tea Party Republican back in 2010. He defeated the mainstream
Republican candidate Rick Lazio (from L.I.) in the NY Republican and Conservative Primaries but got beat in the
general election by Andrew Cuomo by a wide margin. Paladino only won in 13 out of 62 NYS counties in that election.
See:

To win a NYS statewide gubernatorial election what is sometimes done is a Downstate/Upstate balance in a ticket...
Paladino went with another Western New Yorker - Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards - who was unknown
outside of WNY - not helping their cause anywhere else in NYS against a strong Democratic candidate like Cuomo...
Sometimes it just pays to keep comments like this such as this outside of social media and the Internet...
That is why I am not a fan of anything of this sort that can come back to literally haunt you...
At least Paladino apologized for these Obama comments - accepting that is another story altogether...
The moral of the story is to (try and) keep inflammatory comments to yourself...
