Barack Obama, Straight Shooter?

| Just seven weeks after a massacre at an American elementary school, the White House released a photo of the president firing a gun. Strangely, no one seems to think this is in atrocious taste. We imagine the reaction would be quite different if it were, say, George W. Bush. But a lot of people, including this columnist, doubt that the photo depicts what it purports to show. The White House distributed the pic in response to widespread skepticism of President Obama´s assertion, in an interview with a liberal editor and a former campaign coordinator, that "up at Camp David,

saw the picture of a idiot wearing mom jeans, holding the rifle wrong for skeet shooting, and probably shooting some weird cartridge that only spewed out gases. and what was with that side gas coming out of the barrel of the rifle.

Aerial view of Camp David skeet shooting range does not look like the location of the Obama photograph, but scale of the photograph is hard to judge. If this is at Camp David, it looks as if Obama is standing in front of the low house beyond the 6th station aiming into the field beyond where all the high house clays would fly. Makes no sense to me unless he was trying to get hit by a high house clay.

I wish poster and commentators on this and other sites would quit talking about O shooting a rifle. In the photo he is shooting an over and under shotgun. If you cannot tell the difference between a rifle and a shotgun, then just call it a gun. Skeet, trap, and sporting clays are NEVER shot with a rifle.

Obama is getting some awful advice from whomever he is listening to these days. First he steps in it by saying ´we go skeet shooting all the time´. Even his doting admirers suspected that was political BS. Then he allows an awkwardly posed and fake looking photo to be released bringing hoots of derision from the right and anyone familiar with trap or skeet.
He would have been better off to have clammed up and let it die. The MSM would have covered for him as they always do. The WH has just made the embarrassment of the first lie worse.

Barney Frank discussing the Boston marathon bombing on CNN this morning: "We are talking about recovery here all morning, as this city, as this state tries to bounce back from this," the CNN host said to Frank, a former congressman from that state. "And someone brought up an interesting point that, in some ways, the recovery is based on the response. The response yesterday was so remarkable. They stopped the marathon mid-point and calmly moved some 5,000 people from the racecourse. There were moments of chaos right there, but they were able to clear the scene fairly well.

NORTH Korea´s military has today issued an "ultimatum" saying it would launch retaliation against South Korea without warning if "anti-North Korean" activities continue. "The supreme command of the Korean People´s Army Tuesday issued an ultimatum to the South Korean puppet group," Pyongyang´s official news agency, KCNA, said. Threatening that it would not give any advance notice before attacking South Korea, the North warned: "Our retaliatory action will start without any notice from now." North Korea said it was responding to insults from the "puppet authorities" in the South, who yesterday held a rally against the North in Seoul.

Police took a 20-year-old Saudi national into custody near the scene of yesterday’s horrific Boston Marathon bomb attack, law-enforcement sources told The Post. The potential suspect was questioned by the FBI and local police yesterday at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he was under heavy guard while being treated for shrapnel injuries to his leg sustained in the blast. In late afternoon, a large group of federal and state law enforcement agents raided an apartment in a building in the Saudi man’s hometown of Revere, Mass. FBI agents could be seen through one window.

BOSTON -- The bombs that blew up seconds apart at the finish line of one of the world´s most storied races left the streets spattered with blood and glass, three dead, including an 8-year-old boy, more than 140 wounded and gaping questions of who chose to attack at the Boston Marathon and why. Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings one of the city´s most famous civic holidays, Patriots Day.

The Department of Homeland Security has not issued a terror alert in response to Monday´s bombings in Boston. On the Department of Homeland Security’s National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) website, the administration says: “There are no current alerts.” According to a source with knowledge of these matters, a terror alert "gives authority for full mobilization of law enforcement resources to feds, state and locals.” The source told Breitbart News that the administration is supposed to issue such an alert out of the National Counterterrorism Center, via NTAS, but no such alert has been issued after the bombings in Massachusetts.

Until the right-to-choose community fell victim to what the late late-term abortionist George Tiller called "sloppy medicine," all was well in pro-choice America. Then, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, proprietor and chief abortionist at the Women´s Medical Society, got busted and is now eligible for the death penalty after allegedly killing 41-year-old patient Karnamaya Mongar and murdering seven babies born alive in botched abortions. Countless Americans falsely believe that disposing of a pre-born infant is more about women´s life choices than tiny crumpled corpses filling red biohazard bags. Therefore, without much resistance, every day in America,

The last check and balance on President Obama is the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. He has made clear that he intends to remove that check on his power in the 2014 elections. Our Founding Fathers wisely provided for a free and independent press as an additional check on government power. But the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, CBS and ABC decided they had a better idea. They concluded that it is more important to behave voluntarily like the old Soviet press did under government compulsion, when the socialist party is in power.

The Boston Marathon bombs may have been packed with ball bearings, which could explain why so many victims lost feet, calves and ankles in the horrific explosions, it was revealed Monday night. Surgeons at hospitals across the city are reportedly pulling the vicious pieces of metal shrapnel - popular with makers of improvised explosive devices the world over - from the bodies of many of the 138 victims who were wounded in the twin blasts. Horrifying photos and witness accounts from the tragedy revealed that many victims had one or both lower limbs blown off entirely.

BOSTON—Two deadly explosions ripped through a crowd at the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 110, once again raising the specter of terrorism on American soil. At about 2:50 p.m., some three hours after the winners had crossed the finish line but while thousands more runners were still on the streets, two bombs exploded 50 to 100 yards apart near the course´s end in the city´s crowded Back Bay section, Boston Police said. Panicked spectators fled the scene as smoke from the blasts filled the air, sirens wailed and exhausted, disoriented runners and

Since he first became a presidential candidate, President Obama must have spent millions of dollars in legal expenses to combat dozens of so-called "birther" challenges seeking the original documents pertaining to his birth. As president, he famously issued an electronic document on the White House website in 2011; the document purported to be his long-form birth certificate, though it is apparently a forgery. In addition, he has taken great pains to hide the paper trail of passport records, college transcripts, and other data -- all of which a prospective employer might require of a job applicant.

In light of the explosions that have rocked Boston on Patriots’ Day, during the city’s annual marathon, NBC reporter Luke Russert took to Twitter to speculate that today’s horrific events could possibly be related to the 1993 government siege on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas — an incident often attached to conversations about “right-wing terrorism” and anti-government violence. “I was at Fenway Park w my dad and @mikebarnicle during Waco which was on Patriots Day in 1993. Speculating on possible link,” Russert tweeted following the explosions.

He is known only as "Baby Boy B," a fetus estimated to be 28 weeks old, found frozen in an altered one-gallon plastic water jug in Dr. Kermit Gosnell´s West Philadelphia abortion clinic. His passing went unnoticed and undocumented, but on Monday, prosecution and defense lawyers struggled to get Philadelphia´s chief medical examiner to say whether he was stillborn or killed by Gosnell after being born alive during an abortion.

The impending introduction of legislation to overhaul the country’s badly strained immigration system received an extraordinary endorsement on Sunday from Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, who, after holding back for weeks, appeared on no fewer than seven television talk shows to explain and defend a plan that he said would be “a net positive for the country, now and in the future.” It was a striking show of confidence from Mr. Rubio, one of eight members of a bipartisan Senate group that has been crafting a plan to provide a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants;

Is media bias to blame for lack of Gosnell coverage? Or something far more banal? The trial of Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell would seem to have all the elements of a spectacular news story: shocking allegations, horrifying visuals, sympathetic victims. Yet until late last week, much of the national media was silent as testimony about Gosnell’s alleged “house of horrors” abortion clinic rolled out. Much of the media attention outside Philadelphia, in fact, centered on how little media attention the story was receiving outside Philadelphia.

Senior correspondent John Miller, a former assistant director of the FBI, reported this: There is an individual in custody … he is not free to go. There is an individual in custody … he is not free to go. He is a Saudi national who was near the scene of the blast. When the blast happened he began to run.
