White House Dared People to Photoshop Obama’s Gun Picture…and Did They Ever

Feb. 3, 2013 11:51am Mike Opelka

You’ve probably seen the newly-released photo of President Barack Obama doing what he says they do “all the time” — skeet shooting at Camp David.

Obama Skeet Shooting Photo Gets Photoshopped

Image source: The White House

The photo carried a standard notice from the White House concerning how the picture is used:

“This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.”

Following the release of the picture, Obama adviser David Plouffe sent a tweet basically daring people to mock the image.

Image source: Twitter

So naturally, the American people took up Plouffe’s challenge. Less than 24 hours later, we have amassed a few of the edited photos that are currently circling the Internet.

Shooting both the American flag and the Constitution were popular choices for the photo:

Obama and Laser Cats also received many “likes” and retweets in the social media world:

Obama gets the finger:

The tutu seems to be a popular choice for the president’s wardrobe on the range — it appeared in more than one photo:

The famous fur-coat-wearing IKEA monkey also fell victim to the president’s shooting skills:

Combining pop culture with the presidency — “What’s Up, Barack?”:

We admit to cropping this one. If you’ve seen the original online, you’ll know why we did it:

A personal favorite among some here at TheBlaze, the “Dukes of Hazard” edition of the Obama skeet shooting photos:

We’re certain there are hundreds of Photoshopped images currently being edited and perfected. If you see one that we missed, please send it or link to it in the comments section below.

Bet that the boys and girls in Silicon Valley have their walls plastered with PhotoShopped pictures of Bush and Romney. Bush and Romney would laugh with us, and Barry will smoke a joint and start throwing his dolls all over the White House, like Hillary, used to throw lamps during a temper tantrum.

The Original picture was Photoshopped look at the smoke trail specifically the trail going away from the rifle. Or is the picture an example of a Photoshopped Image (first photo in article).

I suppose the White House has never heard of the First Amendment or the public domain.

Hey Floof! We’re to intelligent for conspiracy theory’s. We only seek the truth, and we’re all smart enough this “buffoon” couldn’t hit a cow in the a$$ with a snow shovel, let alone know what a skeet or trap house is!

maybe the secret service agent had to hold the skeet clay in his hand??? Ban our guns just so they can give them to Mexican Drug Dealers, and Libyian/Syrian Terrorists… Oh I mean “Rebels.”

Then there’s the re-enactment of the President Obama shooting skeet, starring Mel Brooks as the President.

Even Robert Gibbs says he’s never seen Obama skeet shooting. When asked if he has shot skeet with the president or have seen Obama shooting he said NO but didn’t doubt Obama. Gibbs won’t tell a lie that he can get trapped in. If people have shot skeet with the president, I think we would have heard about it or seen the photos. He’s clearly not shooting skeet with the gun horizontal. It looks like a photo op to back up his lie that he shoots skeet all the time.

Look, I suppose the White House and MSM goons thought that if 51% of American voters were stupid enough to give Obama another go at ruining America and were gullible enough to fall for the Benghazi video story and all the other outright lies and fabrications of this administration, they would buy this one too! So sad to see the sorry state our country is in right now!

The President can’t help himself…He continues to pretend he’s something he’s not – in this case, a
“Skeet Shooter, All the time.” (LOL)
Now – to the Skeet Truthers who believe this is real – Go sheet shooting sometime like many of us have. You’ll laugh, too, when you realize what a phony this is.

more info on why the WH photo is fake:

http://alekssphoto.photoshelter.com/image/I0000veSUHVyjao8
Notice the large forward moving cloud from the muzzle, plus the smoke going up for the porting. Porting consists of a row of ports, generally two to four inches in length. The Obama pic shows what appears to be a single port, something not used for shotgun barrels.

Note the difference in this muzzle smoke compared to Obama’s.

More difference.

Another target shotgun not showing the coned smoke that the Obama pic shows.

  Play on the one with the finger blocking the barrel and take the earlier suggestion of the smoke coming out of his “hindside”.

We shot skeet when I was growing up and I have to tell you, I laughed out loud when I saw this photo of Obama supposedly shooting skeet.
No one wears sunglasses to shoot skeet. It’s hard enough seeing them without shades on!
No one shoots skeet straight on. He’d have killed someone, but certainly not hit skeet
Obama is once again a laughingstock because he gets people whoare ignorant of what they’re doing, to put out fake photos such as these.
Skeet shooters all over are getting a real hoot out of this.

Everything is a joke to these people isn’t it? I thought the clay discs were moving.. really, Obama? You’re going to shoot straight forward on a moving target. I see you have as much knowledge of it as you do running the country.. none.

I love this response… awesome, people! Heres the funny thing however: The W.H. released picture is Photoshopped!.
When is the last time you saw smokeless powder produce that much smoke after a shot from a 12 Gauge Shotgun, and with no indication of recoil observed from the shooter? Look at the location of the guns **** on his shoulder; recoil from a 12 Gauge would have pushed his upper body back and probably slammed the gun-**** over his shoulder, and… no way could he hold his cheek against the stock like that after the recoil. He’s a poser!!!!!!

  All so true. Having shot guns, rifles, shotguns, etc of all types, and having shot skeet, this photo is a phony.
  Note to Obama – In the future, when you’re going to fake a photo, get someone to do it who actually knows something about the topic.

  Of course, we don’t see the effect of the recoil. I think we may be seeing the only shot he’s ever taken in his life.

  There are no Lefties who know anything about the topic. The only guns they’ve ever seen “shot” are wielded by their movie star heroes.

Isn’t it amazing how often Obama’s advisers intentionally seek to incite conspiracy. I guess they hope that if there are enough of them, Americans won’t be able to distinguish between the real ones and Obama’s straw man conspiracies! This is their way of seeking to distract, because some of those conspiracies are almost certainly REAL!
The skeet shooting conspiracy may be fake, but the Soros/Media Matters/Ctr for American Progress one is REAL!
