President Obama said in a recent interview that he goes skeet shooting “all the time,” but not everyone is buying into his claim. Case-in-point: CNN’s Erin Burnett, who noted (and some might argue — entertained) the extreme skepticism surrounding the president’s claim during Monday night’s broadcast. While critics wonder whether he embellished or lied in an effort to appeal to gun lovers amid a tense, national firearms debate, others are taking the president at his word.
Regardless, in a comical development, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) decided to challenge Obama to a skeet shooting contest during her appearance on “Erin Burnett OutFront.”
“If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this? Why have we not seen photos?,” she asked during a CNN segment with Burnett. “Why has he not referenced it at any point in time as we have had this gun debate that is ongoing?”
Following up on the notion that the truth behind the matter is important to discern, Blackburn challenged Obama to a contest — one that would allow him to put his full marksmanship credentials on display.
“I think he should invite me to Camp David, and I’ll go skeet shooting with him,” she continued. “I bet I’ll beat him.”

Jan. 29, 2013 at 1:46pmThe last guys argument was one of the dumbest things Ive ever heard were safe so give up all your guns. while at the same time the arguments fly that there are too many guns so were not safe. DEDEDE. So to sum up we don’t care if your safe or not safe just give us your guns.

Jan. 29, 2013 at 1:44pmIt’s obvious Barry doesn’t skeet shoot. Consider this; he still has both feet and both cab-door ears. Not possible he’s ever picked up a gun or one of those ‘elements’ would be missing.

Jan. 29, 2013 at 1:16pmI think our liar-in-chief has finally reached the point that he no longer knows when he’s lying. This “I’m a skeet shooter”, was just to easy destroy.
The one thing he does know for sure, is that his media will NEVER embarrass him.

Jan. 29, 2013 at 1:21pmIf I did something “all the time” I’d certainly expect to beat an old lady (no offense to Rep. Blackburn) at whatever the activity. I for one would like to see Barry eat some humble pie. I would also like to know if Barry is lying or not.
Remember when Paul Ryan misspoke about his marathon time and how the liberal media was all up in arms about him lying about his time? When can we not hold the “President” to the same standard? If Barry is willing to lie about something so small as skeet shooting what else is he is willing to lie about?

I understand that The President has been to Camp David three times since he became President. He must be a fast learner. In reality, when he was a community organizer, he was only ******* away hundreds of thousands of dollar of taxpayer money, yet he learned how to piss away trillions pretty quickly. He’s obviously got what it takes.
**********
You sufffer from a lack of understanding it seems. I live about 10 minutes form Camp David and can assure you he has been there more than 3 times in his first term. He was there more than 3 times last year, once was for debate prep. We know when he is there, i have jets above my home all night long when he is there and most the locals know as well
