This morning, the White House released a photo of President Obama shooting a gun:Oooh, I'm impressed. ::)
I'm just surprised it took them this long tofixt.getmanufacture a photo of him "skeet shootin'"
Amazing he isn't holding it sideways.

They've got some good photoshoppers on staff.
Almost looks real.
And they've started a new hashtag game on Twitter with:
#NextWhiteHousePhoto

A few examples:
*Obama in cammo shooting Osama bin Laden with an assault weapon.
*Obama walking a tightrope across Niagara Falls.
*Obama holding back the winds of Superstorm Sandy so little kids can get away.
*Obama crossing the Delaware River on Christmas...............in mom jeans.
Oh and DUmmies, just because there is a photo of the preezy shooting a gun doesn't make us believe that he won't take them from the rest of us.All for me, none for thee.
There are plenty of photos of Michelle stuffing her face yet she still wants to take our cheeseburgers from us.
Anybody notice what's wrong with the picture...........?
Good photoshop, but not good enough........

OK, someone help me out here.
Skeet shooting involves shooting at something elevated, as if to simulate shooting at a bird. This photo has 0dumbo shooting level, as though he is eliminating the need for a drone by personally shooting Paksitani children at close range.
Just to be safe because of the warnings I will only post a link to this.I love that site. It's usually my next stop after CC and Weaselzippers. :cheersmate:

I like ported shotguns.Not if you're in a duck blind sitting beside one.
Not if you're in a duck blind sitting beside one.Yes, I know. I've only used one with skeet/trap.
Killer muzzle blast.
I got stuck next to some guy with a muzzle-loader at the gun range. Every time he fired, I got showered with hot powder.Don't stand in front of it. :whistling:
It wasn't my idea of fun.

I love and admire Prez Obama. I really don't care to see him with a gun . I just don't. I know...
Don't look.
But Prez Obama and a gun, at this point, just seems out of kilter. Anyone else feel a bit uncomfortable? I'm just so weary of the gun thing in general. 1
2. I have no problem seeing him shooting clay pigeons. Y'all clean and cook what you shoot, right?
I was never any good at it because of my wretched eyesight. Stop flinching. Keep the eyes open.
I would have problems seeing him posing like a swaggering wingnut with the gun before or after a round of skeet shooting. You have other problems. Address those first.
(http://www.weeklystandard.com/sites/all/files/images/8436110735_5ec05750a2_b.preview.jpg)That's the DUH caveat!
The gun is being held level, not what you'd see at a skeet or trap shoot. Not even at Camp David. It might even be a pellet gun.
Even the photoshopping was crude...(http://members.socket.net/~mcruzan/images/shooting2.jpg)
(http://www.desismileys.com/smileys/desismileys_1832.gif)
Can anybody identify the gun? But probably should ignore the photoshopped barrel.....
My problems with the picture, and I'm no expert on guns or photography, but his right arm looks too sharp and clear against the background. It almost looks like a greenscreen picture.Nah, it's a real photo of someone unfamiliar with firearms, and uncomfortable with them.
I've only shot shotguns and rifles a couple of times, but it felt unnatural to hold the gun up to my cheek, I always kind of tilted and lowered my head to meet the gun halfway sort of.
Nah, it's a real photo of someone unfamiliar with firearms, and uncomfortable with them.
Nothing more.
After I commented above, I had another thought about the choke tube.
I have a funny feeling there was only one shell, nothing below. :-)
His right forearm looks to skinny. Also, do people wear sunglasses when shooting? Most pictures show those yellow lensed safety glasses.Please consider, the guy hasn't really done a days hard work, thus the arms.
Anybody notice what's wrong with the picture...........?
Good photoshop, but not good enough........
The smoke, for one, coming out of the side of the barrel second...where else would you like to go on this?It's a ported barrel, sir.
Yes, I know. I've only used one with skeet/trap.I have a SxS 12 gauge where one bbl is choked. It is a Stevens I got from my dad a bunch of years ago.
Did you happen to notice that only the upper barrel has a choke tube? I find that odd.
Also, arrow in the inset photo appears to be pointing to a rib support block, nothing more.

It's a ported barrel, sir.
Fairly common with skeet/trap guns.
As GOBUCKS mentioned. Not for hunting.

True, but not quite sure why a so much smoke coming from a modern shotgun which would supposedly not look like the damn Space Shuttle being launched.Smokeless powder really isn't. Just a lucky shot by the photographer.
I thought left handed people wore their watches on their right arm.

I'm left handed (and have the same birthday as sharp shooter, but not the same year) when I used to wear a watch I wore it on my left arm. It just felt right.Twist the strap off, and stuff the watch in your pocket like a man. :whistling:

Hey, people, she can only BS me once, right? Right? Aw shit.
I'm not going to bitch slap you, you sucked up to me in my card thread. :wink:I was only being honest.

Strange. It was on your left arm, but it felt right. I would have thought it felt left. :lmao:
Sorry BEG. I can't get to sleep and don't know why that's funny to me.
That's normal. I'd be very suspicious if it wasn't.(http://www.weeklystandard.com/sites/all/files/images/8436110735_5ec05750a2_b.preview.jpg)
Something doesn't look right. It's too dark in the woods. Can you shoot skeet at night?
As a hunter who has been shooting shotguns since he was eight, let me point out a couple of things:Come-on, Jason, spit it out.
The butt of the shotgun is too high. It's supposed to be tucked into your shoulder. He's a Newby
The cheek "weld" is too tight. I hadn't noticed that. Good catch.
Repeated shooting like that would cause major bruising on the cheek and shoulder. Yes it would.
His hand is positioned wrong on the stock. It's almost on the bottom barrel. The balance is off (IMO). He's a newby
And one choke means probably one shell. You saw that, too?
Also, no recoil. His shoulder would be further back with the "kick" of the gun. Kinda gets a "bye". Ported.
His stance is horrible. Yes
Not leaning foward enough. Yup
To me, the entire right arm looks PSed. Nah
This is obviously someone who as never shot before and has never been coached by someone knowledgable. Never shot before. Minimal coaching.
This is embarrassing. eeeeeeeYup
Come-on, Jason, spit it out.
Obama shoots like a girl. :fuelfire:
He probably dropped the gun a split second after the picture was snapped.Probably missed the ground, too. :whistling:
I thought left handed people wore their watches on their right arm.I am.

It looks photoshopped to me
All in all, this was staged like everything else in President Obama's life. That he says that he's all for sport shooting or hunting is all well and good; but, the Second Amendment says nothing about sport shooting or hunting. It is about a right of possession and not about a right to perform an activity.American Thinker (http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/02/seven_reasons_why_its_a_photo-opp_3.html)

No, it didn't get ignored.
That was 55 posts ago, and sometimes we forget.

He shoots skeet as much as Biden sky dives. Next they will be telling us Michelle loads for him and cleans the weapon after he's bagged enough skeet for the day. One things for sure, the skeet have nothing to worry about...
This image is for the low information voters who need pictures to understand what's going on in the world. Seeing is believing. Here's the problem with skeeter propaganda; Obama already won the low information voter over. Basically, it's a wash.
man, that's one heck of a low flying skeet.
He looks like a little boy firing daddy's shotgun for the first time. If it weren't so clearly a staged photo-op, it'd be cute. Obama just had his Dukakis-on-the-tank moment.
He looks so natural. Do skeet look like wabbits ? Where is that skeet ? Has anyone seen a skeet hole ? I think I saw some skeet dwoppings on the gwound. Is this thing supposed to smoke?
It looks like Obama is shooting the skeet while it is still in the launcher.
(http://gunmart.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/obama-skeet-shooting.png)
The jug-eared Kenyan firing his "skeet riffle" reminds me of John F'n in 2004 asking the Ohio sporting goods clerk, "Can I buy me a huntin' license?"
I thought left handed people wore their watches on their right arm.

17. It's a kind of compensator (ironically)
You need X foot-pounds to get the shot going at the appropriate energy, so the gas system bleeds off any pressure above X.

Come-on, Jason, spit it out.
Obama shoots like a girl. :fuelfire:
To me, the barrel looks like the end of a Daisy BB gun.
The ones with the knob you twist to open the hole and pour BB's in to load it.
And WHY is the smoke coming out of the barrel in a puff smaller than the diameter of the barrel bore? (I'm not talking about the vertical plume of smoke).
It looks like someone PS smoke and a second, lower barrel onto a Daisy BB gun.
That is a man who is deathly afraid of that shotgun. Look how tense he is, in his arms and stance. He can't be having fun.
If Vladamir Putin had been there with him, Putin would have used an AK, while wrestling a tiger, drinking Wodka from a bottle, and screwing Moochelle from behind... at the same time.
DD, it has a choke in it. So the plume is consistent with being fired through that choke.
Still looks like a Daisy BB gun to me.
I don't shoot shotguns much, I don't know a whole lot about them.

the best and worst of skeet shootin' Obama photoshops

Get the bullshit over with first - mostly wingnuts parroting old Dick Cheney cartoons
Lots of good "pictures". :-)
I saw the pic of Obama that is throughout most of this thread, somewhere else over the weekend.
My first thought? The arms looked way too white to be Obama. At least the Obama we usually see.
Look at the pic above. The arms look too white, like they did in the pic I originally saw.
Methinks they used Obama's standin and forgot to darken the skin to match Obama's. Either that or he wears makeup to make him look darker IRL...
Maybe that's the white half.
Vitiligo. That's the ticket.
The plastic surgery comes next.
WTH is THAT??????????
Gross.
