"After the impassioned national reaction to Sandy Hook, Obama's Press Secretary finally caves in to demands from the Press Corps that the White House should release an official photo of President Obama engaged in one of his favorite (although rarely admitted to) Camp David passtimes: skeet shooting. So yes, the man who wants to control gun ownership is a gun owner himself."
What -- it was supposed to be funny??? .

Based on the photo, he either doesn't shoot skeet "all the time" or he is a terrible shot (or both).
The stock is way too high in his shoulder- causing a black and blue shoulder if he shoots a lot. He should be leaning into the shot, not standing upright. Usually you shoot at clay pigeons when they are elevated...not level the way he is pointing. Waiting until the target is near the ground indicates a poor shooter.

We suspect the photo is of a black man with a gun -- F*x News.

Agreed, but then he shouldn't claim he shoots skeet "all the time".

![]() "Damn! Cantor's a lot faster than Boehner and McConnell..." It occurs to me The White House releasing a photo of Obama shooting doesn't really help his push for tighter restrictions on guns and frankly, kind of makes him look like he has to prove something to someone. Whether its Michael Dukakis looking like Snoopy in a tank, John Kerry windsurfing, George H.W. Bush looking amazed at a cash register or George W. Bush in his Top Gun gear, these photo-ops have a bad habit of backfiring on the politicians posing for them.

As far as the targets -- I went back to the official White House Flickr page where this official White House photo has been posted. The official caption to this official photo reads as follows: http://www.flickr.com/photos/whiteho...n/photostream/ Quote:
