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.

This post has been updated.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

The picture has obviously been PHOTO-SHOPPED i.e. PHOTO-CHOPPED
1. smoke coming from top of barrel, NO SHOTGUN is gas ported on top, because it would blow smoke and powder debris upwards into the line of sight, when trying to shoot DOUBLES, it is a DOUBLE BARREL.
2. left hand is very unnatural on gun stock, no shotgun has a pistol grip that long below the stock !
3. NO RECOIL, the gun should be kicking hard upward and backward when fired
4. gas shooting upwards is slower than gas shooting out barrel, in reality both would be shooting out violently when fired

the picture is- a FAKE ! (laughter)

  The smoke coming from the top of the barrel, could be smoke from the first shot, drifting away in the wind. If that is true, obama was definitely using black power to stage the picture.
  
  Or the picture was photoshopped by someone who never fired a gun. Made obama’s gun like the one’s used in John Wayne movies.

One picture does not an “all the time” make. In the spirit of bipartisanship he should invite Dick Cheney over to go shooting. :)

I’ve never seen ‘sights’ like that on a over and under shotgun before. Besides whats the ‘smoke’ coming out of the top of the barrel or the white thing at the front of the barrel. I know, a gun made by Mattel.

yep, stance and grip show someone who is not comfortable or practiced. Also probably not shooting at a target, just a posed shot.

Is that you ‘whatdifferencedoesitmake” Hillary?

4 dead in Benghazi.. whatdifferencedoesitmake how they died or who killed them or what we did to help them? Hillary Clinton
Anyone who accepts this answer doesn’t care that 4 people died.. all they care about is serving their fake skeet shooting messiah.

Whendoes a person who is right-handed use their left hand to pull the trigger? Never!!!!!!! I also heard Oboma has only been to Camp David 3 times. That’s not much for someone who says they skee shoot all the time, for Camp David is the only place they say he has done this

  Ah, but he is left handed. Many “proficient” shooters are ambidextrous. My brother-in-law is right handed but he shoots and bowls lefty – go figure.

I think I can clear up the confusion. “All the time” is just an expression. Obviously it is impossible to literally shoot skeet all the time. Even if you are such a crazy Obama hater that you refuse to believe that the President devotes any time to doing his job, he still needs to eat and sleep.

This man is tearing our country and our constitution to shreds and he’s got the media’s attention redirected towards whether or not he was honest about skeet shooting…… What sort of insanity is that? You journalist need to keep you eye on the ball or this country is gonna be lost.

Looks like black powder; I thought most powder today is smokeless? Though there would be more smoke if it were black powder. The report said nothing about skeet only that he was shooting clay targets. I’ve set up clay targets downrange just to target practice but that’s not skeet shooting. Anyone figure out the weapon? Looks like an over-under maybe .410 and .22? Or, muzzleloader? You wouldn’t get the recoil with a .410 as say a 12 guage. I don’t know, the more I look at the photo, the more I think it’s a muzzleloader???

  You can shoot skeet straight on like that when the clay pigeon is mounted on a post 10′ in front of you.

August 4 2010, huh? That is funny because he was in Chicago on that day:

Oh no? Make that August 4 20112, then?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/04/us-usa-obama-birthday-idUSBRE8730F820120804

Umm, no. He golfed all day that day.

It took me all of 5 minutes to debunk this photo. The media is not doing its job.

  Any spear he chucks would have to be the thickness of a toothpick. Ever seen him throw a baseball?
