Shopped, printed, rescanned.

But no pictures of the dead skeet he shot. Maybe those pix will be released next.

Gee...we´re sorry...but was the White House laboring under the delusion that America isn´t fully aware Obama spends most of his waking hours shooting...

What? Guns? Oh...sorry. Thought it was verbal scatology related...

With the way his cheek was sucked down against the stock, he only fired one shot.

Not so fast, boys and girls. August 4th is the president´s birthday and he spent it playing golf. It´s all over FB; someone has proven once again that the skeeter-in-chief is an inveterate liar.

Nope, just one of his "doubles". He must have an entire closet full of "look alikes". Other potus´ had doubles who filled in for them, why should this one be any different?

Elmer Fudge.

Skeet shooters wear a vest to carry their ammo, their spent shells, and to cushion against the recoil of the shotgun. Skeet shooters typically don´t stand straight up, they lean forward just a little. The President can shoot skeet any way he wants to, as any rich guy with his personal skeet range, but the photo has a staged look. Go to any skeet range and see what I´m talking about.

If I´m not mistaken, skeet shooters also aim their guns at the clays, which are up in the air--not straight downrange at shoulder height. BTW, I didn´t know Obama was left-handed...

I´ve been reading about this photo on various sites. Someone said they were able to enlarge it and could see the date on obama´s watch. It was January 31 2013. I have no idea if that´s true.

Most people don´t shoot skeet or trap with dark sunglasses on.
Yes, he should be leaning forward a bit.
Hopefully only one barrel was loaded, so when he dropped the shotgun, he didn´t Cheney someone.

$10 says he heard the Secret Service detail out there, wandered out, and said, "Hey guys, can I try that?" ... and the response was, well, muted. "Uh... sure, Mr. President... now here´s all you have to do..."

At that angle, the pigeon was out of sight when he fired. No way could anyone hit it at that angle. The scam go on...and on...and on.

Yes, the big o is left handed. That was made clear to all us serfs when he signed something really important in front of those moving picture boxes. BTW, in addition to the skeet he shoots, he fires at duck decoys too with seldom missing a one.

what the heck is coming out the side of the barrel? it looks like a over under break action so no gas recoil vent for a semi - very low res photo

Notice his left hand is on the barrel and not fully on the wood stock. Bet he has one heck of a hand burn.

Is that smoke for real or was that photoshopped too?

Just more proof of the low IQ of Democrats and those who are tagged as "Obama Hindlickers" for believing him.

e wouldn´t be shooting those poor, defenseless skeet if they could shoot back.

I could care less if he did or didn´t fire a weapon, if he respects hunting, if he shoots skeet. Gun control isn´t about hunting. It´s about deterring my ability to defend the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness bestowed upon me by my creator, my god. No man has the right to do that.

I can believe that Obama was shooting AT Camp David.
He hates everything American except his attempt at being emperor.

The barrels are probably ported; holes drilled to help with recoil and maintaining a sight picture. But can´t help but saying this is poorly staged or photoshopped.

They must think we are really, REALLY stupid.

That’s what you get when you have a bunch of photo-shoppers who know nothing about guns!

They never heard of smokeless powder?!

Shotguns don’t emit blue smoke when they are fired.
Any smoke seen would be dark-gray…

If it’s not photo-shopped it’s staged with a phony round set to produce all that smoke. (A movie set scenario, perhaps?)

I bet he hunts snipes too.

Wasn´t his hair real dark last August? I recall that the grey in his hair didn´t show till after the election...hmmm

The photo is as fake as his concern and care for poor people.

In their frenzied haste to try and demonstrate Obama´s masculine bona fides ,
the White House released this hilarious photo that made Barry look like Elmer Fudd.

This is also the source of the sound of the gunfire Joe Biden heard while golfing near the Amish school near nickel mines.

Skeet generally don´t fly along the horizon.

Sophomoric stunt.

Democrats play fast and loose with the truth and PhotoShop. I have my doubts about this or any staged Obama pic.

Very awkward looking photo. Notice how high on his shoulder the butt of the gun sits. This would guarantee you a bruised shoulder.

Something wrong about this. Something staged or not a photo of him shooting skeet.If the WH has faked something here then they are really stupid. Something will come out in spite of the MSM. Ask Dan Rather.

The most interesting part of the photo, for me, is his sighting plane and the location of the butt of the gun.
Those of you who know how to shoot a shotgun know what I mean.
This is the skeet shooting equivalent of the kenyan klown riding his girlie bike with his helmet on.

Too bad the recoil didn´t knock some sense into him (assuming he actually fired that shotgun).

They did get one thing right, having him wear shaded eye protection to hide the fact that both of his eyes were squeezed tightly shut.

A cheesy - and clearly staged - stunt intended for the consumption of low information voters, i.e., stupid people.

Many previous posters on this thread got the phoniness of this just right: dark glasses, standing up too straight, firing downrange, no vest. He probably got off one round for the cameras and called it a day. At least he didn´t ask, in a really butch voice, "Where can I get me a huntin´ license?" like John Fraud Kerry.

With PhotoShop etc, the only images you can really trust are moving ones. It´s much harder to doctor moving images unless you´re a CGI expert.

They throw this stuff out there and we bite every time. You know they´re laughing their arses off. We´ve got to learn to just say, "Who cares?"

LOL If any of you Folks are buying this . I have some prime Martian Property I can sell you real cheap. It´s all Waterfront. LOL

Never saw a clay shooter with that kind of stance, gun holding technique, etc. It doesn´t look like that gun fits his shoulder very well, either. It screams FAKE! He probably holds his pistol sideways.

Again... Images are more important than the truth. Disgusting.

As his wife admitted, he no like shooting so it´s probably staged sometime in the summer unless they are so conceited they did a blue screen shot and photoshopped in the background and the smoke. The shadows seems all wrong...

Look up ´camp david´ in google map satellite mode. The skeet/trap range is at the very bottom left (S/E) corner of the compound.

Obviously photoshopped. But wait, isn´t Bronco Bama now subject to getting a case of the gun cooties, from even LOOKING like he had been firing a gun? Why, that infection may even seep into his finger and up his arm, wouldn´t THAT be a disaster?

He is such a wuss.

I hope you all get to see the de-photo-shopped original version with the fake flowers in the muzzle and the BANG!-flag under the barrel.

They got one thing right, the angle of the gun is just right for shooting the bull.

#7 good one.

A couple things:

First, what editor let this article go to ´press´? He´s not wearing ´ear muffs´. That´s hearing protection. ´Ear muffs´ keep your ears warm during winter.

And then this: "The back-and-fourth about whether the ....." ´Fourth´? Are they all using Dragon Dictation software instead of typing these articles?

Lastly, he had to look manly on guns. He couldn´t choose hunting. Nobody would believe it. Skeet and trap shooting is an Olympic sport and, therefore, manly as well as cosmopolitan. He ´satisfies´ both sides by doing this.

And to think we had a Revolution over an increased tax on tea.

It is time we regain our Republic. My sincere hope is that the tree of liberty isn´t thirsty.

YoYo ain´t never fired a firearm in his life...the photo is laughable!!!

What is PurpleLipps shooting with - a steam driven rifle? What´s with the steam coming out of all openings?

This photo is a good example of the generalized Obama failure to surround himself with informed people.

If he was going to get his picture taken shooting skeet, he should have had a real skeet shooter on hand to get him into the right clothing, hold the gun the right way and in the right direction, and have him shoot 8 or 10 rounds before the picture is taken so he relaxes a bit.

If he had done all that, he would have developed a better understanding and respect for target shooters in general AND he might have realized that skeet shooting can be fun.

Having power is not the same thing as being a real man.

I can´t believe Obama or his handlers would try such a stunt with the millions of experienced shooters across the country. Did Obama really think no one would notice and he´d get away with it?
