The White House has released a picture purporting to show President Obama "skeet shooting" at Camp David. An activity he claims he does "all the time."

Why does this guy always look like a fruitcake when he is doing something? Something about the way he holds that gun looks strange to me..and I have been around plenty of hunters.

What are you saying, Eglman? I don't follow you.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

A muzzle break allows gas to escape thru ports to reduce recoil there are none here so no smoke should come out 4 in below the end of the barrel and I do not see any chokes which determine pattern differences when shooting like most skeet shooters would use to improve accuracy. I just don't understand why there is smoke that far down the barrel

I wonder if the picture is real or not.

Two things: First, the stock's too high on his shoulder. Second, with skeet, the gun is generally moving through the hot. Aside from that, he's Annie Oakley.
I am guessing fake just for what I see there judging the smoke out of the barrel and he is shooting straight down range not at an upward angle as if sheet shooting and the way he is got his face planted in the stock way to hard--and just that he is a Known Liar
It's funny that Obama would jump into a mess with both feet and say that he shot skeet. It's his own damn fault that people are mocking him.

I thought the gun looked to be in a funny position. Thanks for confirming! This is just a staged photo!
When will the White House release the photo of the bruise that Obama got on his shoulder from the one and only time he fired a gun?

White House forbids photoshopping of Obama shooting image…we couldn’t help ourselves!
from the official White House Flickr page:
This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.
Well, you see, there’s this little thing called the 1st Amendment that allows me to manipulate the photo. With that in mind, the photo doesn’t allow us to see the President’s target…I just used my imagination.
Calling all photoshoppers…..this is the day you were born for.
