When Obama, who has never once been seen holding a gun and has always seemed to have a huge disdain for them, said that he goes skeet shooting all the time, everyone laughed. Well, the White House has now released something you thought you’d never see: Obama firing a gun!
Obama, one second before tossing the gun away and crying.
It also came with some warning about not photoshopping the image, which I’m sure never occurred to anyone.
So there it is. Obama firing at skeet — probably not successfully since he’s not aiming up. But anyway, this should settle it. Obama is a total badass who loves him some firearm action. Don’t mess with that guy or he will release a photo demonstrating that he could beat you up.
And no worries about the 2nd Amendment, because Obama loves skeet shooting and hunting, which is what the 2nd Amendment is all about.
…and since this photo only took about three weeks to surface and came from the White House, it’s completely legit. No reason to question it…
SIDE NOTE: Interesting that the twerp can’t even manage to look manly when firing a gun.
A caller to the Dennis Miller Show said that ported shotguns are often used for training children, because the port reduces the recoil, and is gentler on the kiddies’ shoulders.
I was thinking fake before I read comments from skeet shooters on other blogs. Some questioned the smoke a few inches back from the muzzle, and that is explained as a vented barrel that acts as a muzzle brake, so recoil will be reduced. Okay, that is acceptable. I did not like the recoil of the .30-06 that I recently lost in a tragic canoeing mishap … wink, wink, nudge, nudge. The smoke itself is questionable, as skeet shooters have commented that the propellants used in skeet loads do not produce smoke like that. The recoil in that shotgun had better be reduced, because the way he is holding that shotgun would result in severe bruising (at the very least) to his shoulder. It appears the shogun has a choke only in the top barrel. If he were really shooting skeet instead of faking a photo, there would be chokes in both barrels.
I got a feeling that the only folks shooting skeet “all the time” at Camp David are the Marines that guard the place. I don’t think Il Douche had ever picked up a firearm before this photo.
Yeah, just what is Prezident Barry a-shootin’ at ??
Low-flyin’ Romney imitators?
The W H Chef for not knowing how to prepare “K-9 TarTare’ ?”
‘Picking an option’ for Benghazi?
Call us when he goes to Quantico and really fires-up some………..make sure you show the range targets………..
Ok, lets see what’s wrong with the image:
First, the smoothbore looks to be a Browning B25 12 ga, custom gun made in Herstal Belgium at FN plant typically not equipped for choke tubes. Lower barrel msut be shooting threads.
Second, for the last 100 years comercially available target loads are smokeless propellant not black powder
Third, he has a very tight cheek weld and his left eye line of sight is into his thumb, very bad gun fit and form
Fourth, dark safety glasses, tight cheek weld and large ear phones, is that really Obama or a standin?
Fifth, no recoil from expulsion of shot and ejecta, minimum 12ga free recoil of 1 oz at 1200 fps is 16 ft-lb, a decent wallop
Sixth, no expression of pain from having his shoiulder dislocated from his bad form
Seventh, smoke from porting is done on both sides of the rib not through it. It is also not for recoil reduction like a muzzle brake but
for limiting barrel jump for the second shot on doubles.
Eighth, all combined he just held the gun in position and they photo shopped in the smoke.
I do a lot of skeet shooting with both over/unders (B25 Browning) or SxS like American classic A. H. Fox.
Spin Drift
Just wondering….Does anyone else have a road going through their skeet shooting range ?
This is right up there with Dukakis posing in a tank.
“look! I’m seeketing! “
He shoots like he’s in the Special Olympics or something.
Our founders didn’t protect the right to keep and bear arms so that people could shoot skeet. They’d just finished shooting a bunch of tyrants and oppressors – much more productive and satisfying than shooting skeet. Rather, they protected the right to shoot skeet because it makes spaghetti-arm little girlie men look so funny the one time they try it. As we see.
Obama is a Cylon. In fact he is only of the Final 5 cylons (Marx, Mao, Lennin, Stalin and Obama) so he can’t be killed. I’m serious. If something happens to the body he is currently occupying he will just be downloaded into a new body.
This also explains Obama’s ability to exert MIND CONTROL over millions as they are mesmerized by his voice. He is a Cylon.
CTC, I just did a little searching and saw Kennedy shooting at Camp David. There looked to be a gravel path curving behind him, similarly, and a high wooden fence. Also it showed markers that I guess are for the different stations for actual skeet shooting as a sport. Kennedy’s gun seemed to be held at an even lower angle as the photo was snapped. I think the site was UK Online but kinda got distracted and disgusted by an article about a Saudi Muslim preacher who raped, tortured and killed his young daughter that was let out of jail after a few months and a 30 some odd thousand pound fine (half what a male victim would be).
Perhaps the reason that we proles are commanded to not photoshop the image is that it may already be so.
Looking at the long gun in question: one presumes, because of what appears to be a swing latch, that it is an over/under breechloader…yet, as mentioned above there is no choke in the “under” barrel. That would lead the viewer to conclude that the bottom tube is a reciever for rounds as would be found in a pump-action-yet, no standard pump can be seen, but there appears to be an ejection port on the top left. OK, so the weapon could be a lever-action akin to what Chuck Connor carried in The Rifleman….yet no lever-action can be observed.
Got to call photoshop shenanigans on this one. That, or Barry is shouldering one odd-looking, oddly-built wussgun.
Also…hearing protectors or headphones pumping a little vintage Ice T or NWA? Really?!? The gun is that loud outdoors?
Yeah, Barry, memo the room when you’re at Quantico touching off a few rounds with a scoped .50 cal.
On some high end trap guns, I’ve seen either the upper or lower barrel replaced with either a rib or a faux barrel. Not sure why, high end trap isn’t my game. Simple enough that it was something laying around at camp grabbed up for the photo. I think Browning owned up to it being their model
We shouldn’t doubt Obama’s prowess with a shotgun. I’m sure that he shoots skeet just as well as he throws a baseball.
Is he pregnant in this picture, or did he eat a particualarly solid chunk of dog for lunch? Or maybe he has a grapefruit in his shirt or something. Ah, I’ve got it – that’s probably a can of beer he’s saving for his next beer summit.
And yes, after looking at the gun some more, wtf is it? The front looks like a single barrelled pump action shotgun, but the back looks like a lever action rifle. I’m not saying it’s fake, but it’s certainly an unusual gun.
If there is a real need for a stronger background check I would start with this guy.
So what happens if you photoshop it, do they go all Waco on you? How about photoshoping what he’s really aiming at? You’re allowed to make stuff up still, right? I bet it’s a picture of Romney. Or it’s a guy holding a skeet at the end of a long stick, standing about 5 feet away.
Nice shot Mr President, would you like to try if from 10 feet?
That’s a low aim, is he shooting at skeet, or “Skeeter” (the redneck) from middle America.
So what happens if you photoshop it, do they go all Waco on you?
Yes.
Agents from Attackwatch and DHS will kick in your door, toss in flash-bangs, and effect a staggered entry, sometime after midnight as you’re slumbering in your bed. Expect helos to be circling your residence with their spotlights illuminating the street below. Media will be notified so as to capture the image of you being frogmarched out the front door by gay, lesbian, and handicapped members of the federal law-enforcement community and forcibly tossed into an up-armored paddy-wagon which sports CoExist, pro-union, and rainbow stickers affixed to the rear bumper.
You will, nay, must accept that Our Noble Leader does indeed shoot smoke-producing, lever-pump-breechloader, single-double-overunder-side-by-side shotguns at clay skeet pigeons just like any other real man on the back acreage of his taxpayer-supported country retreat…lack of Carhart jacket notwithstanding.
It’s a given that Our Leader, after breaking a copious sweat busting blackpowder shotgun caps sat back on the tailgate of his Cadillac truck, reached into his Coleman cooler, cracked the seal on a 40 of merlot (what, you’re expecting OE?) and sparked up a Nat Sherman cigarette…just like reg’lar folk does.

… should have kept his “Trap” shut . . .
… piss him off, and he’ll bust a puff of smoke in your ass . . .
. . .what’s he doing? Playing cowboys and Indians with Elizabeth Warren?
piss him off, and he’ll bust a puff of smoke in your ass . . .
Well…Barry is the first gay and openly stoned president…perhaps he’s NOT shooting that shotgun as much as he’s using it as a bong and “skeet” is a new type of pot.
Double barrel Choom Gun
This gun is just a composite of many guns he fired in his past…Like the girlfriend in his “memoirs”.
Unbeknownst to Barry, he is holding the new model Tea Party Tea Kettle.
