| It´s about time for some bipartisan...skeet shooting? Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, joined a chorus of skeptics who questioned President Barack Obama´s recent comments about his hobby of skeet shooting, a sport where participants fire shotguns to break airborne clay disks. "If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this? Why have we not seen photos? Why hasn´t he referenced this at any point in time?" Blackburn said Monday on CNN´s "Erin Burnett OutFront." "I tell you what I do think," she later added. "I think he should invite me to Camp David,

I can´t imagine Obama skeet shooting.I doubt if he´s ever picked up a gun.The media can´t figure out whether this is a cool thing for Obama to do or not.
How could someone who bowled a 34 ever dream of shooting an airborne clay disk?

Oh, give the poor guy a break. It was his John Kerry fake hunting photo op moment. Besides, he can never get away during skeet season.

This is a nice way of saying "YOU LIE!". Of course, Obama meant to say he shoots bogies, not skeet. Its a composite target thing.

You knew this was another lie the minute it came out of his mouth. The kick of a twelve gauge would annihilate that skinny shoulder of his. I hope Congresswoman Blackburn continues to press her challenge. Show him up for what he is. Maybe Ed Henry will ask him about it at his next presser.

In 2009, the WH released an official photo of the Mooch and Obama watching a martial arts demo on the WH lawn. Photo captured Obama reacting like a terrified 10 year old girl to the fighter being tossed onto the mat. If the shrieking Clown in Chief couldn´t handle a mat toss, how could he ever hold a shotgun in those delicate hands?

Obama War Room: Blow it Forward
VALERIE JARRETT: Geithner’s here to give you a briefing on your blind trust, sir. OBAMA: Great. No blindfold today, Tim. I’ll just close my eyes. GEITHNER: Good news, sir. Your holdings in publicly traded firearms manufacturers have doubled in value. Smith and Wesson and Sturm Ruger have been going, uh, great guns since 2009. OBAMA: Told ya so. Nothing causes revolvers and semi-automatics to fly off the shelves like a Democrat in the White House. GEITHNER: Your investment in ammunition manufacturers was also prescient, sir. They’re running three shifts since you ordered five billion rounds for your new Civilian National Security Force. OBAMA: I’ve always said, you can’t be too thin or too rich or have too many bullets. David, has Feinstein shown any sign of tumbling to my real agenda—repeal of the 22nd Amendment limiting me to two terms, not the 2nd Amendment? PLOUFFE: Negative. The plan is still operative: we blow the Republicans out in 2014 and push through both Houses a motion to repeal, which then goes out to the states. Media Matters tells me they’ve accumulated enough dirt on Republicans in state houses across the country to assure repeal. JARRETT: The repeal is then encapsulated in a formal document published by the Federal Register. It is then the law of the land. OBAMA: Tell me the best part again. PLOUFFE: You know it, sir. OBAMA: Tell me again. PLOUFFE: [sighs] You appointed the Register’s Archivist. He’ll make a slight mistake in composing the proclamation, adding the digit “2” in the right place, thus invalidating the 22nd Amendment, not the 2nd. OBAMA: I love my country. I’ll stop at four terms, when Crazy Joe’s too old to succeed me.

I was on the golf course the other day. I play maybe 100 times in 4 years. Anyway, today it is very distracting because there were an unusually large number of skeet shooters on the range next door. It really takes away all the thrill of playing another free round of golf.

Zippy has a definite high proficiency at not only shooting it; but throwing it as well.

Good job, Marsha!
When is Bammy ever at Camp David? Every week he is either out fund-raising (still) in far away places or he´s on the golf course.
By golly I´ll bet Bam Bam will take the Mooche, Bo and the girls out to Camp David for a nice quiet weekend(like what they all love) real soon. Mooche can finally take off her wig with bangs and just go "Angela Davis" while she´s there, since no one will see her.

I ran into Marsha many years ago at a gun show in Nashville while she was still in the state legislature. Cute, nice, and always on the right side of the issues. She was Tea Party before there was a Tea Party, and was very supportive of the grass roots movement to keep Tennessee from having a state income tax. I made a point of thanking her for her efforts.
She´s kinda small though. I wonder if she can handle a 12 guage. Can you shoot skeet with a 20? Whatever, I´m sure she could handle a bigger boomer than zero ever thought of doing.

Uh Barry, the pointy end does NOT go against your shoulder! You shouldn´t have to reach to get to the trigger! If you are pushing the trigger, you are wrong.
OK Barry, do it your way. You´ll be very sorry after the first shot!
I was 12 the first and only time I shot skeet and that was with a 12 guage. I hit all three!

Posters references to obama´s bad golf reminded me of a topic I´ve posted on several times before. Just after the 2008 election there was an article in either Golf or Golf Digest about Presidential golfers. Zip was rated as the 5th or 6th best of them with a reported 16 handicap. Somewhat later it became clear that obama is no 16. Even though his scorecards are guarded and not reported, the word leaked out that his average score is in the 100-105 range. That means his handicap is more like a 28 on his best day. obama lied about his golf like he lies about everything else. BTW I´ve looked for the Golf magazine article and cannot find it. It´s as if the article has been scrubbed from the Web.

I had to go to the Freepers, but I found the MMA photo (scroll just past half-way down the post): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2878442/posts
We´ll see photos now.... dated at least months ago, if not longer, to ´´prove´´ that he´s been shootin´ at them skeets for quite some time now. Great sport.
Or maybe he´s not the one shooting at them - maybe he lets his Civilian Military yoots do his shooting for him. Isn´t that what they´re for? (Gotta wonder if each clay has a white/GOP face or name painted on it.....)

"Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," he said, responding to a question about whether he had ever fired a gun. He also added he has included guests on his skeet shooting outings.
The guy´s pretty good at lying by implication. But not so good that it´s not obvious. Just because "we" do skeet shooting all the time doesn´t mean he ever actually picks up a firearm when they do.

He probably meant "shooting up." I agree with others here who say he wouldn´t like the weight or the kick of the gun. Too much like work! I remember when my ex used to take me out target shooting (& sometimes skeet shooting). He tried to teach me how, but I didn´t like the kick or the noise. I enjoyed just watching the others shoot - which is what I suspect is all he does.

There exist an image of somebody who might be President Obama holding a gun at what appears to be the Camp David skeet range. It´s on sketchy web sites and various forums and has nothing like a provenance. It´s hard to find, considering its newsworthiness. And that there´s only one picture. No professional photographer takes only one picture.

Considering the expanded public interest in a the Presidential Skeet Shoots, now that Øbama has let the "cat out" so-to-speak, you would think the Presidential Press Corps would be excited with questions on the event- and, of course, photos.
Has jay C. been informed as to what to say when those questions come up in the daily briefings? Hmmmm? Or will the press corps, sensing a delicate moment for the liar in Chief, get the message to not ask any questions about this- you know, to help the so-called "President" keep his lie secret, like his university records and his immigration status, and his credibility intact?

Has Obama ever been photographed doing anything remotely manly ? The guy can´t even open an umbrella. On June 8 , 2010 Obama hosted the Congressional picnic at the White House. He tried to walk Bo and photographic hilarity ensued as the puppy dragged him hither and yon. This may have been the first time Obama walked a dog which is a lot harder than eating them. A couple of photos had his loafers airborne-seriously. Michelle , Obama and Bo all walked out of the White House onto the lawn together for the photo op. Bo took off and Barry could not control the puppy. Michelle was photographed suddenly breaking into a run ( in a dress ) after the two of them as it was obvious that Barry was physically unable to control the dog. Obama was just a moment away from falling down and Michelle grabbed the leash in time. One iconic photo ( they may have scrubbed it by now ) had Obama , at the end of the leash , pirouetting up in the air like he was a ballerina .

It is a fake. It is a photo from when Zippy was golfing on the day the SEALS killed bin laden. Super easy to find the real photo, just google obamma golfing photos. It comes up immediately. It is also posted as part of an article at usbacklash.org
Man they really think we are stupid. Can we impeach him for being such a liar?

I have never shot trap. However, the thought of Obama faking it and having his minions cheat for him really intrigues me. I will make it part of my bucket list to watch cheating at skeet.

OK, all you photo-geniuses...isn´t there a way to extract the EXIF data on a digital image? That pseudo-skeet-shooting shot needs a thorough vetting.

Skeet shooting without wearing protective glasses or ear plugs? How come he is not required to follow the most basic safety precautions?

That accounts for that scar on his head. Skeets falling out of the air.
Sarah should invite Zippy to Alaska for some real hunting.

According to authorities, a green Cadillac was traveling on Route 91 in Damascus around 2:15 p.m. when his vehicle cut through a nearby car wash located off Third Street, where the parade was taking place. The car then went around several vehicles in the parade and plowed

President Obama spoke of the importance of fathers to their sons on Friday after a young man he met at a community center in Baltimore mentioned wanting to provide for his sons. “You know, one of the biggest challenges – I grew up without a father,” Obama said at the Center for Urban Families, which serves fathers and their families. A man named Marcus Dixon had just told him about the center´s key role in helping him learn to provide for his family after being released from jail.

WASHINGTON There´s an irony in the Internal Revenue Service´s crackdown on conservative groups. The nation´s tax agency has admitted to inappropriately scrutinizing smaller tea party organizations that applied for tax-exempt status. But the IRS largely maintained a hands-off policy with the much larger, big-budget organizations on the left and right that were most influential in the 2012 elections and are organized under a section of the tax code that allows them to hide their donors. "The IRS goes AWOL when wealthy and powerful forces want to break the law in order to hide their

Two Congressmen are asking the Treasury Department if it inappropriately scrutinized conservative-owned businesses the same way it targeted Tea Party groups filing for tax-exempt status. Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis. Renacci´s Northeast Ohio Chevrolet dealership was closed in 2010 after losing a battle with General Motors. Congress loaned General Motors $50 billion in 2009 after GM declared bankruptcy, which resulted

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Dorothy, the 14-year-old peregrine falcon that since 2002 has nested on a 40th-floor ledge of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, was perched on the limestone railing next to that nest and her lone chick shortly before 9 a.m. Friday. She´d just fed the 22-day-old chick a small bird for breakfast. "Baltimore oriole ... again," said Kate St. John, who blogs about the city´s peregrines. Someone else watching from the office inside the window next to the nest said it looked like Dorothy was calmly "chilling." Ms. St. John´s response was that nothing could be further from the truth.

WASHINGTON — An Internal Revenue Service watchdog testified Friday that he told Obama administration officials in June that he was looking into allegations the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The revelation by Inspector General Russell George came at the first congressional hearing on the IRS misconduct, which has generated a political firestorm since it was disclosed a week ago. George’s testimony represented the first evidence that officials in the Obama administration knew of the allegations as long as a year ago, during the presidential campaign.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans. The name of the provider is not yet known, United Press International said. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges. The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said.
