| The New Republic: “Have you ever fired a gun?” President Obama: “Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time.” New Republic: ”The whole family?” Obama: “Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there. And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations. And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake.” — from an interview published Jan. 27, 2013

At least when Mookie produces a fiction about "her" veggie garden, she has some staged photos in hand. The KenyanWonderBoy doesn´t need no stinking fake photos.

He lied. What really galls me is that he and Biden use water pistols playing around kids. Just this week a 6 year old was suspended from school for pointing his finger at another student. One student was suspended for having a paper gun at school. I think Biden ought to have to give up his annual water pistol game since he would look like a hypocrite if he didn´t. Oh, silly me, he IS a hypocrite!

Some little agents of the left will take one for the team, come forward and say they saw mr. zippy skeet shoot at Camp David. Of course, no photographers were present.

I would be more believable if they said he tried out for the Rockettes. Skippy with a gun?? No way, it´s too manly of a sport. He rides a bicycle like a girl. Mooch exhibits more testosterone than Skippy.

"We do skeet shooting" doesn´t sound like the guys who shoot skeet on a regular basis.
It is as awkward as saying "we do basketball shooting" or "we go golf ball hitting".
He needs the teleprompter to get the vernacular correct if he wants me to buy into his awesomeness.

A "LIE TOO FAR?" A blatant untruth, so egregious that even the WH Press Weasel, Carney; cannot find a rational way to explain (READ: SPIN IT) the LIE away.
When will the LSM wake up and find they have lost all credibility with the public?

I think it IS odd that Jay Carney had nothing to say about it. Marsha Blackburn challenges him to shoot skeet with her, and Carney flat out refuses to even take the question.
This lie is so bad, and so obvious, that they can´t even come up with a sufficient lie-over-lie to cover it.

He didn´t just say he partook: he said he shot skeet "all the time". And how does this differ from most of his other claims, e.g. being a constitutional law prof, etc. I´d love to know, also, why he and Michelle each handed back their law licenses right before they were taken----were this George Bush or a Republican....... and yet it isn´t even looked at. And for this we have the PRESS to claim, per usual.

President Obama is giving back 5% of his $400,000 salary to show solidarity with federal workers hit by the dread sequester. That’s not much of a nick to a man who has no worries about living expenses and has plenty of independent income, to boot. But, hey, symbolism counts. It’s an appropriate gesture for a debate about debt and deficits that’s shallow, thanks in no small part to Obama. The dread sequester — remember that? — went into effect one month ago, following weeks of presidential fear-mongering about the automatic cuts.

Announcements by potential 2016 candidates, Hillary Clinton and Rob Portman, that they now approve of gay marriage made headlines as predicted. Never once discussed, however, by advocates is how this issue has anything to do with the economic state of the nation today. Legalizing gay marriage will not improve the economy nor is it really that important to the average homosexual. Celebrity nuptials and endorsements may garner news coverage stressing it as a civil rights issue but ironically these come from a wealthier than average demographic. The average homosexual has concerns that are much more aligned

Rare is the "pro-choice" liberal who admits that abortion kills an unborn human being. The Rev. Al Sharpton made this seldom-witnessed acknowledgement -- or as close as he´s likely to get -- on his radio show while drawing an analogy to his views on the Defense of Marriage Act. (audio clip after page break) --CALLER: I heard one of your callers earlier discuss the, the judicial or judge´s rights to, to approve same-sex marriage.

Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and prostitutes, according to a new report. The maids are calling on the Dominican National Police to investigate the FBI’s actions, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday evening. The Herald quoted from an affidavit filed March 6. “The questions posed to her were directed at forcing her to admit” that Menendez “participated in parties with…prostitutes,” according to maid Rosa de Jesus Acosta’s written accusation, as reported by The Herald.

One of the ongoing perplexities of President Obama’s Syria policy has been the stark contrast between his muscular rhetoric and halting, hesitant actions. On the one hand, he has insisted that the country’s dictator Bashar al-Assad “must” go and has predicted that his fall is all but assured. But on the other, he has thus far limited himself to authorizing aid in the form of training and intelligence for Syria’s beleaguered rebels. While we’d be the last to conclude that the case for intervening in Syria is open and shut, we have argued here at Via Meadia

The White House is now focusing on the nomination of Sri Srinivasan for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, considered the nation’s second-most influential court because it often handles major environmental, labor and national security cases through its jurisdiction over federal rulemaking. Srinivasan’s confirmation hearing is scheduled for April 10.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

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

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?”
