Only 10?

Mr. Styrofoam Greek columns strikes again.

Item #9 suggests that it might not even be obama in the pic, instead it´s possibly a body-double. Really? You mean there could be someone out there who would KNOWINGLY wear momjeans to lay his life on the line for the One?

I don´t know. The picture is probably real. He is probably not shooting skeet but rather shooting clay pigeons from a portable trap. At least he shot the gun at least one time.
Obviously he has no skill at shooting a shotgun. He is holding it like he never had one before.

Many of the many comments made about it just don´t hold water. And yes, I have shot both skeet and trap many times.

Pwesident Fudd is the pwoblem.

Those are shooting glasses. Wiley X or some similar brand.

How was the photographer able to shoot the picture at the precise time of the firing?

Give it a rest. So many of the so-called problems aren´t problems at all. Is it not enough that they´ve only been able to produce ONE photograph after a week of frantic searching?

The guy is not a shooter. He said something dumb. We already know that he is not trustworthy. Let´s move on...

Agree #8.

I agree with #8. We all know what he is, so why bother? The funniest part of this whole thing was their hilarious protestations in advance about photoshopping.

The shotgun in the picture is a Browning Citori, over and under twelve guage. I know because it is the same gun I use at the range for skeet and also in the field for bird hunting. I can tell you that the way he has shouldered the gun in the picture, if he fired it any more than about twenty times with it mounted that way, he would have a sore bruised shoulder, especially since he is not wearing a padded shooting vest and the stock has not been customized to fit him.

Agree with #7. Photog snapped that picture at the millisecond when the smoke appeared as the rifle was fired. Amazing timing or there are many more pictures that were not released because they included Obama being helped off the skeet range holding a painfully bruised shoulder and cheek.
And Obama´s agonizing second act only has 47 more months to go. (groan)

One explanation for the delay between event and picture posting might be revealed in the poor quality audio from the wireless bug in the Valkyrie´s office.

It seems to indicate that they were waiting for a reply, which never came BTW, from Martha Stewart asking for her best recipe on the preparation of skeet. (JIC he actually got lucky and bagged one rather then having to purchase from the exotic game market) /ticsarc

I love the way his cheek is pressed against the stock.

Seriously, an odd throw away comment doesn´t deserve all this attention.

I´ll bet he posed with the shotgun and the smoke was photoshopped later.

Why no video? Why are there not 50-60 different pictures?

SUNGLASSES? Was someone dumb enough to put the targets in the direction of the sun?

Fraud, fakery, just like everything else about this man.

I figured the ear protection was there to cover up the body double´s normal sized ears.

Shooting right next to a road?

Photos of the skeet shooting area at Camp David showed more of an enclosed area.

From now on I´m calling this prez Skeeter Fibby.

If the picture was snapped at the moment of smoke ejecting from the barrel, his shoulder would already be in recoil from the blast. He is either the strongest man who ever lived, is capable of defying the laws of Physics, or the smoke was Photoshopped in after he was snapped merely holding the shotgun up against his cheek.

In our 5th year, it still kills me that the Administration shoves these badly executed contrivances at us and expects we will believe Him on matters of consequence.

When is bamboozler going to take up Marsha Blackburn on her shootin´ challenge? Will he too fall, hit his head and be out of action for a few months before he magically reappears, rip roarin´ ready to go shootin´? Don´t be surprised. ha ha ha ha.

The article makes good points. The posted replies make good points.

But what does it matter NOW? The lofos have already been persuaded.

What are we going to do about it?

Arrogant B@stard isn´t he????

As for respecting the pres -- he deserves no respect and I´ll never consider him my president nor will I bow down to his incompetence as a leader....

LZK

Anyone who has shot a 12 gauge knows the kick would push the shoulder back and possibly bruise the shoulder if held wrong. This picture shows he is totally unaware of the pain he is about to endure.

My guess is this was posed and the gun smoke was photoshopped. No way this is an actual shot. He would be on his arse.

Note the long excellent comment by Standing Wolf that follows the article.
Is that OUR Standing Wolf from his site many moons ago I wonder?

He appears to be shooting across a road. Does the skeet range have a road running in front of the shooters? I don´t know. It just seems odd.

The famouse head scar is plainly visible. Like to have someone explain it.

Saul Alinsky’s Rule #5 for Radicals: “Ridicule is Man’s Most Potent Weapon.”

Judging by many of the comments on this and similar “Gun-Totin’ Obama” threads, turnabout, on the part of those who are doing the commenting, is fair play.

A photo op with a shotgun hardly makes him a man. It is likely he held the gun and the smoke was photoshoped.

We are preaching to the choir, here. Those who adore and vote for the fraud do not care if he lies. They do, too. They want their Obama phones, EBTs or adoring press want their moment of fame. Then when Tyranicalsaurus Rex and his Evil Maniacal spouse are done with the useful idiots they will be cast aside. Who will help? No one will have a weapon at all but, as the Homeland Security suggests, we have scissors and a desk under which to hide.

The country is going to hell in a hand basket and we´re surmising that the Pretender might have staged this stupid picture.

This, my friends, is another smokescreen for the "low information" people of the correct viewpoint to stagger upon.

Our country is about to become czarist Russia, people! Obamacare is the law of the land! That´s more important than whether this photo was shopped for.

Let´s be more interested in Bengahzi, which is about to be swept; the administration coming after our 401ks; and/or an administration that bypasses congress by executive order and a congress who says, "ok" by way of passivity. Our taxes are about to skyrocket, the military is about to be axed, and the people being appointed to positions of power are anti-american.

This picture is a "red" herring.

To start with I´m not a skeet or trap shooter although I have shot skeet. Why the muzzle brake on only the upper barrel of the shotgun? Does seem like a bit much smoke. As for shooting level, that would indicate, to me, that he was following the bird down to the ground and did not shoot it when most others would already have fired. I don´t know how much recoil would show if he were firing a light target load, even from a 12 ga. Overall, especially knowing the subject, I´d vote for fake. I´d also like to know his score if he ever did shoot skeet - 0 just like his name? Maybe he thinks it´s golf and low score is good.

Right on #20. Not only that, but his body looks to be photo shopped over some sort of green area background. Phoney from every aspect.

Still awaiting that pic of Two Won placing his halo over his eyes, Annie Oakley style and performing on stage in demonstrating his accuracy on the firing range. Will he do it on a horse?

As to the phony photo of our raging leader, why are there absolutely no photos allowed of this magnificent liar, playing golf ?
Talk about a censoring, unquestioning old media. At least a few newsbreaks how he cheats at golf just like Slick Willie does. Where´s Breitbartian New Media ? with cameras virtually everywhere? Why aren´t there photos of the tax raping family on all their tax rip off vacations?
What´s happening? Is New Media asleep, too?

If they´d photoshopped the smoke coming from Obeyme´s nether region, no doubt the photo would have looked more authentic.

If you don´t think he´s the strongest man who ever lived you must be a racist.

The President is clearly an experienced marksman. I was a committed Conservative sportsman all my life, but now I see the error of my ways and fully support the Presidents plan to confiscate my weapons. Yup. This one picture changed my mind. s/

I downloaded the original picture from the White House Flickr account, and here is selected EXIF information from it:

Image: 4096 pixels wide by 2730 high

Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Resolution: 240 pixels per inch

File date and time: 2013:2:1 17:11:38

Date and time of original data generation: 2012:8:4 19:19:21 (that is, photo was taken at 7:19 PM on August 4, 2012)

Shutter speed: 1/320 second at F4

Software: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Macintosh)

In other words, the photo was at least uploaded into Photoshop in preparation for release. Was Photoshop used to alter it, also?

August 4 is Obama´s birthday. He spent his birthday playing golf and shooting skeet? Where were Michelle and the kids?

More info about this photo: If you view the original on your computer, where it can be enlarged to full size, you will see that the picture was snapped just at the moment of discharge, and the shotgun is blurred, meaning it is recoiling, but the recoil has not yet been transmitted to 0´s body (except for the right forearm). I am suspicious of that smoke, though.

Aug 4, 2012

Should be easy to check the WON´s schedule for that date.

Was he in fact anywhere that he could have taken this photo ?

Great job #41

#27. It probably is. He hangs out at one of the firearms forum sites I frequent.

I´m a bit confused by the end of Dreyfus´ point #3. I am left-handed and shoot left handed (although no doubt quite a bit better than that dork.)

Love this from the article...

"Faux-tography"

That says it all.

Modern professional SLR´s can be set to shoot multiple frames/sec. And then it´s a matter of choice which frame is published.

The EXIF data published above does not show the camera set for high-speed shooting.

Looks like the photog was very lucky or Photoshop wins again.

#24: Jackpot! Besides the poor shooting position and a bruise on the shoulder, the thing that annoys me the most is the smoke.

I am a paper puncher not a skeet shooter so I can not say for sure on shotgun shells. However, nothing I shoot makes smoke.

I believe he posed for the picture and never fired the shotgun. Smoke was added so most would think he actually fired.

Perhaps the White House looked up the date when Obama was at Camp David, then photoshopped the photo and dated it for that date. They have been known to fake stuff (the birth certificate).

Hard to believe he spent his birthday shooting skeet.

Contrary to what some posters are whining about, that its time to "let it go"...I will never cease to be amazed at all the LIES coming from Barry and Jay and the rest of the circus clowns known as the Democrat Party? Enough? No! Keep exposing their obvious LIES until all the low-info idiots begin to see that they have been hoodwinked by Biden, Clinton, Axelrod, Soetoro, Carney, Rice, Holder, Geithner, and all the other liars and phonies who get propped up and supported by the ass-press media water carrying lap dog rump swabs! Get it? GOOD!

Now I´ve got to get back to my "skeetin´"

I don´t care if it is real or fake, but take a look at that shotgun...is the government providing these for the play time shooting? If so, I would guess this to be about a $4-5000.00 piece of hardware. Looks like the real spendy stuff the real rich guys I see at the range using. Who says we don´t have any money. Ha.

Why the two trails of smoke going in different directions starting from different points? I´m a but new to the shooting sports only about 48 years. In the spirit of full disclosure darned little of my experience has been shotgun shooting, mostly rifle and pistol. I´d have that barrel checked for a leak about 4in shy of the business end. He posed with a shotgun, may have shot it, may have shot it well, but this wasn´t a photo of that happening.

Can someone please explain the missing lower choke ?

The photographer and all present were in clear and resident mortal (or is it morbid) danger.
If you think ole Dick Chaney was dangerous this girlie is not only dangerous but probably infectious.
Check with roiters news for it´s shot STD records.

If the barrel is ported, why does the "smoke" come out of the right side of the barrel? That would tend to push the barrel to the left.

That certainly sounds like ´´our´´ Standing Wolf. This posting is worth it for SW´s excellent comment and the comments following it. The only unfortunate part is that those commentators could get audited. (And probably lots of people on this site).

He appears to be aiming with one eye. That is not the way you hold on a target with a shotgun. Both eyes remain open and focused on the target.
