| It isn’t just AR-15s that are flying off the shelves. Shooters are also starting to experience a serious shortage of ammunition. This is partly because President Obama is using up so much ammo. He sprang a secret on us in an interview with New Republic, finally letting the cat out of the bag after all these years: Obama says he goes skeet shooting at Camp David “all the time.” Really? Who knew? I thought he just played basketball, golfed and smoked cigarettes.

But, but, skeet shooting is neither hunting nor self-defense. It´s just shooting for the fun of it! Doesn´t that make him a gun nut?

When he was elected in 2008 and merely standing behind podiums emblazoned with "President ELECT of the United States of America", anyone wanting to work in any capacity in his administration had to answer a very lengthy questionairre. IIRC, it asked questions like "do you own a gun?", "have you ever fired a gun?", "does anyone you know own a gun?", etc., etc. Now Djangobama would have us believe that Camp David is a sportman´s paradise. Ha! And one more thing: Be not deceived by The Deceiver. The 2nd Amendment is not about shooting skeet.

I don´t believe you Mr. Øbama. Someone who goes ´shooting all the time´ does NOT refer to gun enthusiasts as ´bitter clingers.´
You´re just a liar and a panderer, Mr. Øbama.

Djangobama ... love it, #5!
We are all sooooo lucky to have this, this, Superleader, telling US all what to do, what to eat, how to think!
I can hardly remember a time - so long ago - when we had to fend for ourselves, feed our own families, heck - even WORK our own J-O-B-S!
And now, all we have to do is agree, keep our heads down, and do what we´re told, when we´re told and how we´re told.
Life is good!

Obammy shoots skeet in order to relax after performing operations on people for free. And after he´s done working on the gutters & leaders around the house he likes to kick back with a few rounds of taking out the old clay discs and then follow that up with a few brewskis.
What a crock and what lousy reporting! No one bothered to ask a follow up? Like do you use a side-by-side or an over & under? Remington, Browning or Benelli? Do you pull left or right?
I searched for a photo of Obammy with a gun --- any gun --- and all I found was doctored photos. We would see hundreds if this was true.

For all I know, the individual calling himself Barack Obama may be an avid skeet shooter. As usual with this strange man, we don´t have the facts. All we know is what he tells us about himself. The mainstream media has devoted itself to keeping as much information about him hidden as it can, and to discrediting and demonizing all who request more documented facts. The individual calling himself Barack Obama seems best understood as the fictional protagonist of a collaborative political novel written by a number of people and organizations, the latter including the liberal news media.
The mind rebels at the image of Barry banging away at clay pigeons at the shooting range. One thinks of Michael Dukakis playing tank commander. I would be very surprised if Obama is telling the truth about this particular matter.
As others have noted, the important thing is not whether the individual calling himself Barack Obama actually does enjoy skeet shooting. The important thing is that the Second Amendment and the thinking behind it have absolutely nothing to do with skeet shooting.

It really is amazing going into local stores and seeing ZERO ammo for hanguns, as well as ZERO .223/5.56 and especially .22LR.
Going into a sporting goods store or Walmart and finding no .22 ammo is like going into a supermarket and finding no white bread. I find this unnerving, but on another level also encouraging. It shows that there are a lot of people across the US who are paying attention and who care.

Concealed Carry Skeetgun Permits may be hard to come by, but Rootin’ Tootin’ Sharp-Shootin’ Annie Oakley Obama has one. As an avid student of American History, he’s always been particularly interested in what was served at our nation’s first Thanksgiving dinner which we shared with the Pilgrims. His research discovered it featured quite an extensive menu. Skeet Fricassee was the main course, of course. Other delectable dishes included turkey, chicken, venison, fish, foot-long subs, In-And-Out Burgers, Big Macs and Whoppers. Plenty of veggies, too. And not surprisingly, the candied yams were especially popular at the kids’ table. And what’s Thanksgiving without both varieties of Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce? There were plenty of beverages to choose from as well, the most popular being pop-top recyclable cans of Diet Snapple.
Yep, nobody personifies America quite like Barack Hussein Obama!

I remember an episode with R. Lee Ermy, a retired Marine Gunnery Sergent, in which he fired a .12 gage automatic shotgun. The recoil was so great that it knocked the crap out of a very experienced shooter. A man that has fired a wide varity of weapons. But this was his first firing of a .12 gage.
Having said that, with someone as skinny and feeble as Obozo is, firing a round of skeet would tear his sholder off. I wonder if he even knows how many shots are fired in a round of skeet. The correct answer is 100 for a full round.

Obama is just such a dumb hypocrite that he is no longer even worth commenting about. I never watch or listen to him; unfortunately, he is on so many internet news articles one cannot avoid him. ( Just my opinion , but he is nauseating as a President of the U>S> ). How such an intolerant, ignorant, unprincipled person could be elected will be fodder for future generations of historians, if the U>S> still exists after his destructive policies are all in place. ).

How many fathers would say something this monunetally stupid? Honestly? Most fathers love to seen their sons engage in sports, including football.
If 0bama goes "skeet shooting" "all the time", I would suggest a Barbara Walters or Diane Sawyer ABC News special at Camp David so that we can see 0bama´s skills for real.

We all know that he and his family of twits cannot stand Camp David. Moochelle is such a top notched First Lady that she probably asked Odummy if you can eat skeet. Who knows what Wookies eat anyway.

What a joke. I recently read somewhere that the First Family does not like Camp David--unlike most presidents, who enjoy the magnificent setting and freedom of movement it allows them.
#38, actually, R. Lee Ermey´s gunnery sergeant title is honorary. But he was a Marine, and a drill instructor, for many years. So, he´s certainly experienced with shooting.
I loved Drudge´s photo last night of Obama standing amid a bunch of sycophants, laughing. Looked like a real man´s man, the sort who would enjoy pursuits like skeet shooting.

The most respectable gun culture is here to stay with the highest standards and well earned confidence, the one defining culture (missing in all the other tyrannies) that makes us always different. Even our anti gun Hitlers, Feinstein & Obama are firmly affixed to the gun culture. It´s a lovely culture. Without it, we would be a desolate, wasting away culture biding our time til the next Stalin, Hitler or Mao.

Dear President Obama: Some people do not believe you know how to shoot a shot gun. So here are a few pointers to prove them wrong.
The best way to grip the gun is to wrap your arms around the skinny end of the gun. Some people call it a barrel. Point it directly at your mid section because that thing will have quite a kick to it. Gently squeeze the trigger and make sure both barrels are cocked and loaded and watch those skeet fly to pieces.
Oh BTW Mr. President, You´re welcome.

There is absolutely nothing this character says that doesn´t have an ulterior motive. In addition it is in keeping with his habit of trying to have it both ways and talk out of both sides of his mouth. Skeet shooting? Perhaps this modest gun use will ´´evolve´´ to more substantial weapons, if required by politics. e.g. ´´Sure fellow gun users, I don´t like the idea of giving up our weapons either, but we can and we must for the greater good and for the children.´´

Let´s get this straight, The so called "good" guys want to take the guns from the "people" because they cannot be trusted after over 200 years. The "good" guys and the "bad" guys will still have their guns. We will have to depend on the so called "good" guys to protect us from the "Bad" guys who will never give up their weapons without a fight. OK question, Who is "good" and who is "bad".

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

This country is an embarrassment. We can’t do anything right, least of all corruption. Look, when Venezuela’s populist demagogue Hugo Chavez died, word was he’d somehow accumulated an estate worth $2 billion. In the old days when the PRI party ruled Mexico uninterruptedly, every president got a single six-year term — and promptly retired at its close as a billionaire.And that was when a billion was real money.

Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather. It’s enough to make one doubt the “settled science” of the government-funded doom-sayers.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

China continued moving tanks and armored vehicles and flying flights near North Korea this week as part of a military buildup in the northeastern part of the country that U.S. officials say is related to the crisis with North Korea.The Obama administration, meanwhile, sought to play down the Chinese military buildup along the border with Beijing’s fraternal communist ally despite the growing danger of conflict following unprecedented threats by Pyongyang to attack the United States and South Korea with nuclear weapons.

WASHINGTON — A photo of the Obamas hugging that was released on Election Day 2012 has become the world´s most popular tweet on Twitter. A dressed-up version of Barack Obama´s State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube. A playful picture of the president cavorting with a 3-year-old in a Spiderman costume is a favorite online. It´s all courtesy of the Obama image machine, serving up a stream of words, images and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding,compassionate and on the ball. In this world, Obama's family is always photogenic, first dog Bo is always well-behaved and the vegetables in the South Lawn kitchen garden always seem succulent.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- At 11:46 p.m. CT on Friday at Cowboys Stadium, a group of Florida fans rose from their seats and began a rather sobering chant. “Al-most mid-night!,” they yelled. “Al-most mid-night!” Standing on the nearby court, Florida Gulf Coast’s players could only hang their heads. The clock was about to strike 12 on one of the better Cinderella stories in NCAA tournament history. The first No. 15 seed ever to advance to the Sweet 16 finally came off its cloud in a 62-50 loss to Florida. “We made history,” guard Brett Comer said.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
