I know pretty much nothing about guns but in the pic they released there doesn´t seem to be any sign of recoil as the shot goes off.Why would somebody be shooting at a skeet at ground level?

Here are early photoshop shooting pics making the rounds. Can´t say they didn´t ask for it. Emjoy.

It should be noted, once again, that the Second Amendment has nothing to do with skeet shooting or hunting.

Mounted to shoulder as in picture will bruise clavicle terribly. Shot gun is not aimed down barrel as a rifle. That´s why drop (downward slant) of stock differs between rifle and shotgun.

Shoots like he throws. Sorry, I was going to say like a girl but girl shooters do it right. Shoots like a klutz.

The only thing dumber than Obama´s girl-stance with that rifle is the White House´s warning to not photoshop their photoshopped picture. Apparently they never heard of the first amendment to our constitution. Maybe that´s what Obama was aiming at in their picture off-camera.

We don´t know what he was aiming at.

We don´t know when the photo was taken.

We don´t know who is in the photo, really.

We don´t know if the photo was altered.

But whoever it is, if he held the gun like that, it was the FIRST time he ever pulled the trigger. Nobody does that twice. It hurts too much.

Will someone please tell him that proper way to shoot skeet is to place the bootplate loosely on the bridge of his nose? That way-you can aim with both eyes.

Just trying to be helpful.

Sure doesn´t look like he was skeet shooting. Perhaps he was playing cowboys and indians with Michelle and Carney.

Who can believe anything this administration releases? Obama is a liar that puts Bill Clinton to shame. Honesty and truth are not in their vocabulary.
When and where was the picture taken, what was he shooting at, did he fire more that one shot, was it choreographed, why was the picture taken???...

Obama is a creation, marketed by the media, a
"brand" sold to the public by people who want to take all the spoils, leaving America in ruin. Nothing about him is as it appears. Everything is done to promote "the agenda" and fits the narrative.

So when the WH releases a photo of Obama skeet shooting, who would believe it (except the 60% American sheeple)?

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a sophisticated user of weaponry. I can´t help but have an irresistible urge to yield my second amendment rights to him. Forward!

A simple release of the EXIF on this image would be helpful.

He shoots like a girl as well!

If he was really shooting at a clay pigeon the gun would be aimed up not straight out. Looks to me like he´s shooting at a target. If it´s really him. My hubby questions the plume of smoke coming out of the side of the barrel. That shouldn´t be there.

Lcomstaff, thank you for the delicious link to the NON-photoshopped original photos of President Momjeans. You just made my day!

#13, that´s what I was thinking. The only reason I can imagine for that side gas vent is to reduce the kick so the first sissy doesn´t break his shoulder.

That side venting would reduce the range of the shot to about 3 1/2 feet or about the distance these commies think past their collective noses.

#4, you do aim down the barrel of a shot gun if you want to hit anything.

the pic is a phony,just like him.

What else would we expect from our (non)American Super-ZeroHero who attracts - and catches - flies?!

If he can shoot as well as it appears in this photo, NOW I´m scared........

/s

You can´t say it any better than poster #9!

"...a liar who puts Bill Clinton to shame..."

´´Can I git me some #8.5´s loads & 4´´ Heel Camo Boots´´

Check out the attempt by Obama & Production Co. to paint the 2nd amendment as a sports issue or hunting issue, neither of which it is:

The Second Amendment has nothing to do with skeet shooting.”

The 2nd Amendment is ONLY about protecting the people from exactly the kind of over-reaching power-hungry government Obama´s Administration is making America into.

Let´s not let the Left define what the 2nd amendment is about. The photo would be laughable were it not for the fact that too many Americans will construe it to mean that the amendment is about sports and not government tyranny.

What was this jackal trying to prove? We are well aware of his opinion of the US Constitution. He should be well aware of our opinion of him. Nuff said.

You had to know the moment the White House released the photo, WE WON the argument. The boys who know nothing are running scared on this argument. #7´s reply is best.

I recommend Dick Cheney give him some lessons.

Hmmm. Doesn´t this remind me of another picture about shooting? Kerry perhaps? Or ??

The notices warn against ANYONE ELSE photoshoping the picture, but no codicil as to the WH photoshoping it BEFORE its ´timely´ release.

The wife pointed out his gray hair, back in August of 2012 his hair color was shown much DARKER (Election time ya know!), more recently he has been allowed to ´gray´ (more ´Statesman-like´ ya know!).
As pointed out by other posters: A shotgun held high on the shoulder will leave a hurtful, powerful bruise that will tAKE A LONG TIME TO HEAL. FURTHER, Holding a shotgun next to the cheek to sight down the barrel will possibly cause a ´punch´ to the jaw that could leave a hell of a bruise on one´s face; potentially causing a tooth to be broken. Also holding a shotgun by/or on the barrel, and not on the fore grip, when shooting multiple shots at the clays will create a burn that will hurt for some time.
The picture of Barry was posed, and the discharge was added, IMHO mostly because modern smokeless powders do not leave a plume as shown in the photo, after one shot.
Looks like the WH was being only reactive to public opinion. The people who released it, passed the photo for Lo-Fo public; had no idea as to what an individual would look like while shooting skeet.
Another lame,hurry-up job to cover Barry´s gimlet Arse.

America’s rootin’ tootin’ sharp-shootin’ gunslinger says “Stand Down, Comrade Putin!”

I´ve been calling the Unicorn Hunter ´Skeeter´ from the beginning. Funny how David Fluff has tried to tie the name Skeeter to ´non-believers´.

Barry was raised by liberal, psychotic women (is there any other kind?) all his life and he is still controlled by one. No way did he ever shoot a firearm of any kind.

What shows arrogance and dislike for the gun owners is the mocking words that the WH Plume used when he released the photo, calling the "Would be" skeptics... skeeters.

We all know that BO wants to disarm the U.S. citizens and trying to appear to be "just like us" is how he´s going to try to fake-out the gun owners. Problem is, the gun owners know what BO is trying to do, and they don´t trust him. Nor should they.

#25 is correct. Obie is holding a rifle which of course are not used for shooting skeet. Only the imagery and fakeness of Obie himself as shown in the photo would fool the sheep...again as #9 notes very astutely.

it is a ported browning sporting clays shoot gun but yes he should be pointing up if he was shooting skeet it may be a real pic with o just pulling the triger for a photo

Of course no video or score.

Amazing shot. I mean camera shot. Precisely as the shot left the barrel and before the recoil. Amazing, and with only one take. Actually I think he was shooting (if this is even real) at a cardboard cutout of Rush Limbaugh.

Mao swimming in the Yangtze.

"He´s full of skeet!" Campanile rings the bell. #7 made me laugh out loud. Hard to do after watching my beloved Jayhawks lose last night. The White House showed what fools they are releasing this photo into the public where many, many millions really do know something about guns. The comments above are great. I´d love to see one of the WH press corps press Carney on this.

I think you´re all being way too harsh. Of course he knows how to handle a gun. It´s the Chicago hobby.

Oh yeah! Let´s throw away our freedom! The Little Emperor posed for a photo.

He really believes we are fools. Listen, Little Emperor, we will NEVER surrender our freedom. Never!

I have been laughing, a thing I have not done much of since Nov. 6, 2012. This is so ludicrous. Do they really think we are that stupid, or are they making fun...what is going on they want to hide while we are mocking this photo? And hey, now they think they can ignore the First Amendment, too.

No recoil, wrong sighting, wrong gun, wrong posture, wrong smoke pattern. If I shot a gun in this posture, I would be on my butt on the ground, not standing there like a statute.

But what a HOOT. Thanks, White House for the cometic relief.

Why wasn´t he wearing his skeet helmet?

Phony man, phony picture, real ideologue.

The photo is odd. When firing a shotgun, you use what is called a sighting plane (or plain) where you are using the bead sight on the front of the barrel. In the photo, his left thumb is blocking his view, and he is about two inches below the proper position. (depending on the structureof one´s cheeks, it is necessary for some people to pad the stock area to sight properly. In addition, the fingers on his right hand, on the forearm of the gun, are blocking his view.
What the photo represents to me, at minimum, is a shooter who has never fired a shotgun before. A girlie man.

Interesting the THIS resident in office should be the one to eliminate our Second Amendment. Are YOU kidding me?

BTW he is not shooting skeet. Wasn´t Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle murdered not long ago? And it wasn´t in Benghazi

Never shot a gun of any kind in my life, but even I sensed this was a fake. Thanks for the hilarious posts as well as the ones pointing out the fake pose. I always learn something on L.com.

Is Obozo going to ride around in a tank next to show his overwhelming support of our troops?

Notice that everytime something comes up questioning Obozo´s truthfullness, after a period of time, schazam, here comes the proof with a nice photo. (birth certificate) I wonder if these people really believe that we are that stupid. This is America! The country that has invented over half of modern technology and sent men to the moon and back. WE ARE NOT STUPID!

Sorry for the shout.

Hey Obama...can you hear us laughing at you yet? Even staff who released this picture can´t possibly be on your side anymore.

Everyone, shut up about the side vented smoke or you´re going to look really stupid and fall into the scumbama trap (so to speak). It´s real -- Mag-na-port Pro-Porting or Pigeon Port.

Thanks for that last one, #6. Cracked me up... probably more than today´s comics will.

Something about it looks strange for a shotgun. Could that be an antique rifle instead of a shotgun?

Considering the way the birth-certificate matter was treated (with the press testily defending Obama when the first document he produced wasn´t even the right format!), do you suppose they´ll call the same play this time? I don´t imagine any of the MSM will put any resources to critical analysis of the photo (or even given any time or space to competent -- and independent -- photo analysts).

Obama is a Socialist thug and it is still all about the economy. Anybody with 2 brain cells knows this guy has never fired a gun or thrown a baseball.

Why was smoke also coming out of the top of the barrel?

The picture is clearly intended as a warning: this is what Obama wants to do to you bitter clingers unless you obey him.

Pictures of O holding guns reminds me of the new Volkswagon commercial with the dad teaching his son to throw a baseball. Unfortunately, O has surrounded himself with girly men that cannot even tell him when he looks lame.

Just what would they be worried the photo would be photoshopped as, altered to, after the release? It looks just fine the way it is and says so much; wouldn´t change a thing. It´s another feather in the hat of potemkin village.

Why would conservatives make an issue of photoshopping Obama´s head over someone else firing the weapon in this picture? It might hold water if the stance and technique were correct but they are not so what difference does it make?
If the libs were going to paste bamsters picture over someone else firing, the least they could have done was henched it to someone who knew what they were doing.

It´s designed as a distraction as usual supported by low information voters such as David Ploofe.

I just noticed his face is all scrunched up against the gun. If that´s recoil, it certainly would have left a bruise.

I want to see him hang-up the skeet he bagged in front of the White House, the same way Teddy Roosevelt used to display his hunting trophies. Then I´ll believe him.

Bow-Boy: Our skeetrosexual illegitimate blowing more smoke posing as a man.

OMG, LComStaff, the pics of "president mompants" are hilarious!! Thanks for the early morning belly laugh!

Take a poll:
Which is the biggest PHONY?
Picture?
Obama?
Both?

The ignorance of the knee jerk liberals is amazing.

A friend on FB posted that the AP published that Obama spent Aug 4, 2012 (his birthday) on the golf course before taking a helo to Camp David for a "quiet evening with his family off the campaign trail."

So when did he fit this round of skeet in?
And I never noticed him favoring his arm as he surely would have had he ever really fired a gun as shown in this photo...

Me? I´m breathlessy awaiting the photo of President Obama catching a fly in mid-air with chop-sticks. As Mr. Miyagi from the movie, Karate Kid, said, ´´Man who catch fly with chopsticks can do anything.´´

j~

As noted above the first thing that came to mind was Mao Zedong swimming the Yangzi River in 1966.

Looks like Elmer Fudd shooting at Daffy Duck

By the shores of Gitchegoomie, by the shining big sea water, stood the wigwam of OBAMA, hunter of the skeet OBAMA.

Obama is a lefty. I couldn´t help but notice that his watch is on his left wrist.

Thank you #21 and did you read that John Kerry was a Vietnam Vet; I hadn´t heard that before...

This White House has photoshopped other more important things.

Perhaps now the accusations of photoshopping will be taken a bit more seriously.

He for sure wasn´t shooting skeet, unless they were dangling a motionless one for him to aim at. I think there was a copy of the Constitution in front of him. Would probably give him immense satisfaction.

With his every breath, this braying jack-ass is laughing at us! This pic is just the latest visual.

Ye gods! Let the laughing, hooting, thigh-slapping, cartooning, and other rowdy fun begin. These people asked for it by assuming 95 percent of the people are idiots. Even their own commies must now know that they jumped the shark. But his narcissism will not withstand the fun. Should be interesting.

Of course he is shooting LEFT handed, I´d expect no other way!

Maybe he and NorKor´s "Great Successor" can share a "perfect" day of golf and skeet shooting, maybe play a little catch, too.

He, one man child, may be laughing at us, but there are millions upon millions laughing at him in the US alone. Add in the rest of the world and there are billions laughing at him. Just imagine how that gets under his thin skin. Alinsky was right - ridicule is the best weapon. I hope that zippy reads this thread.

Thanks for the info

I like braying jack-ass #69. It fits him perfectly!

Iam a skeeter

Obama and the Ploofter are using this to belittle and mock Americans.

Prior to Obama, I have never seen the President of the United States stoop to derisive name-calling toward any segment of the population. Conflating the terms ´skeeters´ with ´birthers´ is derisive and mocking - and quite intentional (Aliksky tactic).

With the coronation of Obama, civility´s slide has accelerated dramatically. whereas Bush followed in the mold of Washington, who proclaimed with his entire life story that the most important part of leadership is setting an example, Obama is following in the mold of the kings and emperors of old, as well as Stalin and Chavez and Kim Jung Il.

Well, if Americans respond to mocking, then lets give the skinny, poofter with a shotgun a good dose!

Wait for the follow-up picture of the Cabinet seated in the Situation Room intently watching their Commander take aim at Osama bin Laden.

Magna porting a shotgun provides approximately the same action/benefit as the "Outlawed/Deadly" flash suppressors do on an "assault weapon"...in fact their presence is what MAKES them an "assault weapon" as opposed to just another "sporting" rifle.

Take that you damn FLY!!

BTW -- here are some more fun pics of this pose, posted on an L-Dot link:

#7 absolutely the funnest comment of the year! I had to tweet it! with attribution of course, to you and to the site.

The word "sinister" is derived from the Latin "sinestra". How fitting that He and Bubba are both left-handed.

We read every day that some child is expelled for
bringing a photo or drawing of a gun to school.
Will they now be expelled If they bring a photo
of Barry and his blazing Blunderbuss ??
# 60 It´s reported that Barry usually spends between
five and six hours on the golf course.
Reuters reported that on August 4 ,
he played in " hot , muggy weather conditions ".
They also reported that he planned
to spend a quiet evening at Camp David.
It seems illogical, knowing Barry´s level of physical stamina and self indulgence , that after spending 6 hours
on a hot and muggy golf course,
he´s going to race back to Camp David
and suddenly engage in an activity he despises.
More likely he got a massage and then relaxed in the hot tub with Reggie Love and judging from his stomach pooch ,
they also drank a lot of beer.

Modern shells use smokeless powder. Judging from the heavy smoke, the ammo evidently was pretty old or more likely simply blanks.

The most compelling argument for the pic being a phony or fraud, is what has been pointed out already about the precise timing of the photo capture of the smoke exit, before the slightest reaction to a non-existent recoil. Which in itself eliminates the pic as possibly originating from a video.

Skeet shooters wear either a vest with big pockets to hold the shells or a shell pouch on a belt.So if he is really shooting skeet,somebody by his side hands him the shells? I want to hear him yell pull!!!

Clearly the President is an experienced "skeeter" and "does it all the time". His poise and grace are obvious to any knowledgeable sportsman. Controversy closed.

he is aiming at teleprompter height.

Just his natural stance.

Another site with more photoshopped pics:

“If President Obama was dressed as Rambo and holding an AK-47 in each arm, the NRA would complain that he wasn’t sensitive enough to gun owners,” Zimmerman said.

Of course they would. They can easily see through fake of any type.

***BREAKING NEWS***

CNN news bulletin...

Headline: President Obama has accidentally shot and killed his teleprompter it, has been revealed.

The President was attempting to skeet shoot, and the teleprompter was displaying the word "Pull!"

Spokeskid Jay Carney stated that the TOTUS died instantly and felt no pain, and the President is in mourning and will not speak a word to anyone until a new teleprompter is sworn in.

...end of news bulletin

Shotguns haven´t emitted smoke like that since the invention of smokeless powder.

Also, the porting is done in a V shape and there should be smoke on the left side of the barrel as well, which we do not see. The lower barrel is ported the same as the top and should exhibit a V pattern, IF YOU COULD SEE IT. Not like this stupid smoke in the picture.

THE most important point is that the 2nd Amendment is in NO WAY related to hunting or sport shooting.

The smoke coming from the side of the barrel indicates a ported barrel, used to reduce recoil. The stance and head and shoulder positions are fair/poor, clearly someone that has never done this much or maybe ever before.

I, too, question the smoke quantity, suspect a blank round. No recoil evident and it should have quite a bit by the time the gases are exiting the muzzle.

It IS a shotgun,not a rifle, an over-under double barrel, of the type commonly used for this sport. I´ll bet $100 he could not hit even 8 of the shots on a 25 "bird" round of skeet.

Look! Squirrel!

Anybody ever seen this wimp throw a baseball. Pathetic girly man!

While the President of France is focusing on eliminating al-Qaeda terrorists from Africa and the President of Israel is concentrating on destroying chemical weapons in Syria, the President of the United States is preoccupied with exposing photos of himself shooting at pieces of clay.

Have we ever in our lifetime been lied to so much? By this curtain-hanging skinny punk? My Muslim Religion! 57 states! Marine CORPSE! You didnt build that ! You werent born here!

Now he attempts a bigger lie, that he regularly goes "skeet shooting"....And this fake photo is supposed to shut us up? Only if we are blind dumbass doofuses! Which we here at this wonderful salon ARE NOT! He should be forced to take Donald Trumps $5 million and SHOW US THE TRANSCRIPTS!! LIAR! PHONY! FAKER! Impeach both bozos in the White House now and let Boehner run things until the next election, thats my dream..yes, white men have DREAMS too!

Where is the little flag that pops out of the barrel and says "Bang"? If you are going to put shooter glasses on don´t brow them from Stevie Wonder.

i believe the porting on this gun is a row of ports several inches long. being so, any smoke should be a wide band not what appears to be a single point source and not so wispy. If someone can identify the model shotgun i would think SOMEONE would be able to reproduce this picture and compare the flash signature. I agree, that is quite a bit of smoke...

Someone should just post pictures of real skeet shooting.

This is what regular skeet shooting looks like>

This is what Obama´s skeet shooting looks like>

He seems to be channeling Kim Jong Il. Does he get lots of holes in one when he plays golf?

Bet me a spent 12 ga cartridge that The Putter Prince of the Fairways Fields and Streams makes a hole in one on some obscure golf outing before he is out of office and make my prediction, there will be no one around as a witnessto the feat just like no witnesses of his photo-op shotgun blast.

Glad someone explained about the side barrel port on a shotgun - I had thought originally that ole eagle eye had hit two clay pigeons simula, uh simela, uh simolun, uh --- at the same time.
