Washington Post Fact-Checker Still Skeptical About Obama Skeet Shooting Claim: Pic ‘Does Not Quite Answer the Questions…’

Washington Post Fact Checker Responds to Obama Skeet Shooting Pic: Does Not Quite Answer the Questions...

Image source: The White House

The White House’s release of a photo of President Barack Obama shooting clay pigeons has yet to fully satisfy the Washington Post’s fact-checker.

The Post was left doubtful earlier this week about Obama’s “all the time” skeet shooting claim. Turns out they’re still dubious:

The White House released this photograph of the president at the Camp David skeet range on Aug. 4, 2012. We are pleased the White House has become more forthcoming about this matter, though it does not quite answer the questions concerning the president’s “all the time” language.

    Someone should Photoshop the photo so it looks like Barry is shooting into a copy of the Constitution.

      A PIECE OF SCAT SHOOTING SKEET! It looks like Barry’s go-to-guy for Photo-shopping birth certificates (maybe the same guy that did Danny-boy Rather’s Bush National Guard work?) did a terrible job on this obviously FAKE skeet “shooting” picture. I BET he may have handled the shotgun for a “macho” photo op with his little b*tch fingers and bony, girl-like arms barely able to heft the weapon, but I do not think he ever actually fired the gun. Reason why I think this? Look at the gas coming from ONLY the muzzle and ONE of the two ports on either side of the barrel. How does THAT happen? Exactly… It DOESN’T. The wannabe dictator-in-chief caught in yet ANOTHER in a LONG list of blatant LIES. Piece of scat.

      Why just ONE photo? In all seriousness, wouldn’t there be a collection of pictures from that day? (And all the *other* days he fires at skeet? Cuz, you know, “he does it all the time”…)

      “Smoke” is easy to produce in Photoshop. Importantly, does his stance indicate recoil from the gun? (Not really) That would be easier to determine if there was a SERIES of photos….gee, I wonder why there aren’t more pics being issued….

      One thing for sure, his team of top-notch experts eases him through all of his —and his handlers’— lies and fictions about his dubious past, his college records, the list goes on and on. This is just one more addition to the big giant facade.

      I just spotted something in the photo that tell me it was staged or photo-shopped! As you know I have shot trap, skeet & sporting clays for years. Look at the picture and look at the muzzle on the top barrel you see the gold ring at the end of it?? That’s a Midas choke tube you need that to shoot the gun because without it you could damage the threads inside the barrel that the Midas choke screws into….Okay now look at the bottom barrel…Whats missing??? That’s right the other choke tube is not there!! Skeet is a shooting sport that requires two quick shots at most every station, there called doubles. You need a gun like an over under shotgun, semi-auto and I have seen a few use a pump shotgun but for most its takes too long to cycle the second shell the target is too fast. The photo shows the president shooting an over under shotgun but there is no choke on the lower barrel!! He would be crazy to try and shoot skeet with this gun, I’m calling B.S. on this one!! It’s a total FAKE!!

      Not to be too much of a smarta** but I think this is a good idea and that you should have at it. I use PhotoShop in my job and I could do it but it is time consuming for me and it would be without compensation. I just really do not have the time to do it but that may not stop you if you could find the time. Really great idea! Or, put in soemthing that looks like the 23 executive orders even.

      Skeet shooting I’ve done was never parallel to ground unless you let the clay pigeon almost hit the ground The idea is to aim up like shooting a bird, just in case someone or animal is on the ground anywhere near that area. Maybe he was ‘skeet’ shooting a target on the ground? hmmmm? photo shop pulling trigger?

      Agreed, looks like a stationary test firing as a photo opt then trying to swing /track a fast moving target. I think the Post’s point is this maybe the only time he’s ever fired a gun…therefore the need to record it for posterity (for when guns magically don’t exist someday….I’ll have my phased plasma cannon with a 40 watt range by then).

      It matters because the Liar-in-chief is constantly fast and loose with the facts, especially as they apply to his personal history. Here we have an incident where he just flipped out an answer that is obviously a lie and now the White House is in damage control mode trying to make up a history that just isn’t there. This president hates guns and he hates the kind of people who shot them for recreation, so it is patently absurd that he goes skeet shooting “all the time.”

      In shooting skeet, you set horizontally, call pull and then shoot up towards the lauched pigeon. I mentioned this in the other story and I’ll mention it here.

      Great page design. I love the puke green. And only 20 page errors!

      You should tell Douglas Bowman that he sucks at web page development.

      @VoteBushIn12,

      For a troll… you’re not very good at it.

      You’ll never be a world class troll like the good one’s here so beat it back to the basement.

      Maybe you could buy a book about being a good troll and read it? You can read… right?

    When I first looked at the picture of Obama holding the gun it seemed to me he was holding it too high. I took a straight edge and set a line between the front and rear sights. The line goes above Obama’s eyes. This means he was looking down and probably had his eyes shut. I would guess he is afraid of the gun.

    Vertical stream of exhaust gas from barrel porting? Very rare, only know of one gun type that has this which is a 12 Gauge Browning Citori Grand Prix Sporter Over/Under Shotgun 30″ Ported Barrel (trap shotgun, not a shorter skeet shooting shotgun). Obama is left handed so shooting correctly. Wanted to determine if this photo was photoshopped.

    Not an ounce of recoil showing at this point of the shot??? His cheek on the stock isn’t the slightest bit distorted. Try shooting a shotgun with the stock that high on the shoulder, and your cheek pressed onto the stock like that, and see what happens, even with a light load. He might have been holding the shotgun, but the smoke of a shot being taken was definitely added later… I have no idea what kind of power would make that kind of smoke… If my shotgun smoked like that I think I’d turn it in to the EPA myself!

    And by the way, he is NOT standing on the skeet range at Camp David. There is no position on that range that has a road next to it (and trees behind) as depicted in the photo. See Google maps (Camp David, MD) satellite view. The skeet range is the semi-circle at the southwest corner (lower left) of the property. Notice the area behind and around the shooting positions…

      The less than lethal bean bag rounds used by law enforcement have Black Powder propellant and smoke like that. They also don’t recoil very much. If he really wanted to look “manly”, he could ride over to the Air Force Base and get the CATM (small arms instructors) to photograph him pounding some 00-Buck rounds through an old 870 pump. Three boxes of those will tune up your stance

    Skeet are usually launched upwards. You don’t shoot them straight on like this picture.

      They needed to find the pic that perfectly showed the wad exiting the barrel with gasses only exhausting from the right side and Obama in clear focus while not flinching from recoil and arms that have not gotten darker due to the summer sun.

      I am sure they had to weed through thousands of pictures of him shooting skeet to find this perfect one.

      Because why the f*** does anyone care if he goes skeet shooting?

      I bet there are literally MILLIONS of pictures of him doing mundane things that aren’t press worthy… until some right wing nuts think it time to make it press worthy.

      You want to see him taking a **** too? Why hasn’t the White house released pictures of him wearing socks yet!? CONSPIRACY!

      @VoteBushIn12, nobody really did care until he said he does it all of the time. I still don’t care. But it appears the Pravda media is falling all over itself trying to dig up any form of evidence that can back up his claim. They trotted out an obvious fake last week and now have offered this image up. Of course people are going to pick out every flaw in it. Are you not concerned that the White House and it’s accomplices in the “media” are constantly lying?

      His grip is completely wrong on the barrel and trigger plus the way he has braced the stock up on his shoulder. Now he may have fired it once for a photo pic, but I have used shotguns for hunting small game and this screams “Fraud” at me.

      If this has not been photo shopped then he only fired it once in his life. And with the way the shotgun is braced, he would be feeling it for some time with a nice bruise on his left shoulder.

      When I was young, I worked at a Skeet Range. Tax payers paid a lot of money for that Range at Camp David. Why was he firing in a what apears to be a polo shirt. He’s the President, Where was his firing vest with the extra padding?? Unless we don’t care if he gets hurt. Honesty is not the best policy for those handling the President. I feel sorry for the President. He does’nt have a clue to how helpless he really is.

      He may have fired the shotgun once in his life, any second time and his bracing of the shotgun on his shoulder would be better – to avoid a good bruising from the bad positioning if anything (been there myself the first time I fired one).
