Why not just stop at White House mocks? That´s all they do when anyone at anytime questions them. And heavens knows they need to be questions. How many photoshopped pictures have they blessed us with?

I thought when you were shooting skeet, you were following the clay up into the air, not shooting straight. Looks more like target practice.
What the photo doesn´t show is Boehner is on the other end, running away!

This is so laughable. #1--Who in his right mind is going to believe that this photo was taken BEFORE the poseur-in-chief opened his yap about skeet shooting? #2--Someone correct me if I´m wrong, but don´t you shoot skeet in the air? What´s 0 doing pointing straight downrange? Idon´t know what they are trying to do here--this trumped-up job won´t convice any Obama doubters, and his brain-dead supporters don´t need convincing anyway. And the folks in the mushy middle have doubtless changed the channel to Honey BooBoo by now.

The only possible time a gun might be held that low would be when shooting from stations 1,2,6 or 7 if the target had flown way past the center stake. A rookie might do this but either the high or low house would be in any photo of this. This is 100% staged or photoshopped. Mock that, you morons.

1. Can´t see his face 2. No mom jeans 3. Big time bad hold. If this is real, he only fired once because he dislocated his shoulder. 4. Where is the recoil (from the gun, not from his image)? 5. Shouldn´t he be leaning INTO the shot? 6. How come Secret Service didn´t show him correct way to hold and fire a shotgun? 7. I agree with shooting at skeet on a skeet nest protecting skeet eggs.

"3. Big time bad hold. If this is real, he only fired once because he dislocated his shoulder." I´m guessing he only fired once and the huge purple bruise just looked normal.
"4. Where is the recoil (from the gun, not from his image)?" Highly secret, super effective Gov´t compensating ports." "5. Shouldn´t he be leaning INTO the shot?" Why? Like all of his sporting endeavors, Zip is an epic poser and really gets nothing right.

Posed.
He may have even pulled the trigger but his stance, hold and shouldering are all those of someone whose entire experience with firearms is from saturday matinees.
What I find interesting is the incredible highspeed film used to capture the exact moment of firing. You see the smoke as it erupts, fraction of a second later it is all gone. You even see the smoke coming through the barrel porting. But what is really astonishing is the wad.
Look closely at the end of the barrel, see the yellowish extension of the top barrel? Blow up the photo 1000% on your viewr and look at it. It is the plastic shotwad about a half inch from the gun barrel. You can even see the slight deflection as the gun barrel is rising after the wad left the barrel.
How di the photographer get such an exquisite shot in such high resolution and detail using a hand held camera shooting at normal outdoor photography speeds.
He didn´t, he was using high speeed equipment on a tripod and all set up to capture the image.
100% thought out and posed. The photo is shot at an angle that could only be achieved by being in front of the firing line. Anybody know any skket club that woud allow that?

Looks fake to me. Look at the smoke. Their is a plume of smoke off to the right. Who makes a over/under shotgum that is ported??!!! Look at the way he holds the shotgun. If it is a real photo, we have a President that, those around him have no trouble making a fool of.

#41, and others, Shotgun porting is gettin ubiquitous on the clays range. It is pretty dubious if it does anything. It is supposed to reduce recoil and barrel jump but I dount it does much for either.
On an over/under it doesn´t even accomplish that since to reduce jump it needs to port to the top. Blow up the picture and you will see the extensive porting on both barrels. Especially the lower one, ther must be 20 holes, maybe more.
Does make the whole thing look funny though.

He could be shooting at clay pigeons. That would explain the angle. Skeet is a particular type of shooting and the angle would be upward more than the pic shows but I think the claim is that Obama is shooting at clay pigeons.
Having shot a few thousand rounds, I don´t see anything to complain about.

Even as Congress prepares to debate whether to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants and give them a path to citizenship, analysts are cautioning lawmakers to focus on the other part of immigration: assimilating them fully into America. All sides in the debate agree that assimilation is critical, but in a report being released Monday, the Hudson Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank, says the country has failed on that account in recent years. They found that immigrants — even those who earn U.S. citizenship — have far less attachment to their new home than native-born Americans.

President Obama lives at a time when there are two very different and very well-defined political ideologies. On the one hand, the GOP is fighting for spending contraints, limited regulation, and more personal economic choice. President Obama and his party are more determined than any administration in U.S. history to promote and execute the idea that federal government is best suited to both meet the needs of the people and run the economy. The most fascinating aspect of this yin and yang pull of ideologies is not just that they are taking place at this time in history,

His speech at the University of Hartford marks the second time that the president has visited the state since the Newtown shootings locked the nation´s attention on gun control.(Snip) Obama´s speech on Monday afternoon at the university´s Chase Family Arena is closed to the public, but open to students, faculty, staff and guests invited by the White House.

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush.

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

Last fall, Ginnette Powell traveled from her home in Boston´s Dorchester section to her old middle school in South Boston - a journey of just two miles, but one that covered a huge emotional distance. Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
