Skeptical Texas Attorney General Challenges Obama to a Skeet Shooting Contest, Offers to Take Him Hunting

Jan. 29, 2013 4:28pm Jason Howerton

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has challenged President Barack Obama to a skeet shooting match. He has also offered to take the president hunting down in Texas.

He extended the offer via his official Twitter account on Tuesday.

I challenge #Obama to a skeet shooting contest. Better yet, I’ll invite him to hunt in TX politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/01/28/dub…

— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) January 29, 2013

Many have remained skeptical regarding Obama’s claim that he and his guests “do skeet shooting all the time” at Camp David.

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) has also challenged Obama to a skeet shooting contest.

“I tell you what I do think,” she told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday. “I think he should invite me to Camp David, and I’ll go skeet shooting with him and I bet I’ll beat him.”

  Deep sea fishing beats hunting. Actually, a great place for lawyers too. Take Congress to make it fair. Sorry for the outburst…I’ll go back to reading now…

Attorney General Greg Abbott,

be prepared to lose – remember BHO said he does it “all the time”. There’s tons of photos to prove it. lol

  Why does Obama have to prove it – if he says he Shoots Skeet – then it up to the Liberal Lap Dog media to convince all of us to believe it.
  
  If your having a hard time believing this about our anointed one, then you are a racist and will probably never believe that he is a well decorated War Hero and one of the greatest War Strategist of all time. Kim Jun Ill is dead that make Obama the greatest now. North Koreans believe it why cant any of you.

I seriously doubt that Obama has ever fired any kind of gun. Down south, he’s what we call a “pansy-a**”. Know what I mean?

Even CNN agreed that Obama lied about Skeets: http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2013/jan/cnn_obama_lied.html

If the MSM is saying it???

  The President as a personal photographer that goes everywhere with him taking hundred and thousands of pics, so show us the pics of him shooting at Camp David, if he was honest then he’ll have pics if not then he is a LIAR

I’m sure Barry’s shooting abilities and experience are eclipsed only by his bowling prowess.

Remember the 2008 campaign? He tried to prove he was just “one of the guys” and rolled a 37 in Pennsylvania.

Fake to the bone.

If Obama should accept the hunting invitation, which is a remote possibility, don’t forget to ask Cheney to go along…….

All we need is for one reporter to ask him what choke size and what shot size he uses and the truth will come out.

I would think Obama would want to prove his manhood, but he won’t take him up on the offer. Obama would more then likely shoot his own foot off.

Here’s how hunting trip would go. Obama would show up with a Nerf “rifle” followed by a few SS agents with 30.06 Remingtons. He’d be in his usual attire: Diaper, onesy, bonnet, and pacifier just waddling like a toddler. O would see a deer, point his Nerf at it and say “pkow pkow pkow”, barely audible because of the pacifier in his mouth. One of the SS agents will then take the deer down, pat baby O on the head and say “Who’s my good boy? Who just shot that deer?”. He’ll smile, he’ll giggle, he’ll drool, hell jump up and down and squeal. Then he’ll go home and have a trophy made for him while Moochelle draws his baby bath and cleans his bottom.

Don’t use buckshot like Cheney did, use a .556 round with armor piercing properties and a hot high grain load. Accidents happen.

  CIVILWARCOMETH, I caught that earlier here on The Blaze regarding the related story. You could easily see where on the Martin Bashir show the video of the father had been edited. I watched about then minutes of Bashir’s show this afternoon when it started and he did the same thing to a clip of today’s Rush Limbaugh show. That is one smarmy bastard,

I’ve heard that Obama is an excellent shot because he has his underlings attach copies of the constitution to the targets. He’s not half as good when they forget to do that.

  This is what you must know:
  
  Here’s the really beautiful thing about this story and all these comments – no matter what you say, no matter what jokes you make, no matter how desperate your please to sound 2nd amendment manly, it all gets dissolved with two simple words … Dick Cheney.
  
  * hacking up hash oil all over my keyboard . . . honestly!*

  Ms WANG-DANG-DOODLE,
  This is what you must know:
  Take caution when you secrete your hash in an attempt to hide it from the drug sniffing dogs. After usage wash your hands thoroughly and once dry use a touch of bottle hand cleaner. Then re-wrap the contraband with fresh plastic wrap taking care to touch only one side with your hand, while touching the hash only with what will become the inside. Once thoroughly and tightly wrapped you may wish to rinse and repeat the whole procedure again with clean hands and a second layer of wrap. If you use a fifty caliber ammo can to keep your shoe and boot polishing supplies contained, these materials in such a sealed container keep the boot polish disguising odors secure inside, as well as outside when constantly used. Secure your wrapped contraband beneath a couple of your boot polishing rags then simply drop the remainder of cans, brushes and bottles on top. If you are careful you may just fool the dogs.
  Nah, LOL, we’ll find it anyway!!
  It has always been so.
