The only problem: the picture is a fake, and not hosted on the White House's website.
Within minutes the magazine had deleted the tweet and admitted its mistake:

President Obama recently told the New Republic magazine, "Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time." Today, after some suggested the president's claim might not be true, the New Republic tweeted a picture supposedly proving that Obama has gone skeet shooting:

Seen the same picture with different background and with a golf club! These people are really lazy...but their idiot voters will believe it.
I don’t think you could get very good at skeet shooting by holding the shotgun sideways i.e. homey style.
Always put your golf glove in your pocket when you fire a shotgun. LOL
...just posted the exact pic on this thread.
That was too easy. ...and some lib rag was too happy to tweet it only to have to acknowledge their stupidity.
Pretty funny.
The New Republic was previously home to articles by Stephen Glass who basically faked about 40 articles including one where a bunch of young CPAC attendees took over a hotel and acted like drunken sailors with foul language, over drinking, and treating women badly.
A nice movie was made called “Shattered Glass” detailing Stephen Glass’s false articles.
They cropped it to hide the golf shoes, but weren’t smart enough to remove the golf glove hanging out of his pocket.
where’s Looter Guy when you need him?
Freakin’ fool is tangled in his own legs ...
I doubt that Obama has ever held a gun in his life.
“can ah get me a skeet license here?”
Posted this earlier,
it’s likely the reason we haven’t seen any photos.

In the fake picture it looks like he is struggling just to lift the shotgun. It makes him look even wimpier than usual.
LOL! I saw that on a previous thread today and just assumed that one of our FR photo-shop geniuses made it. It’s obviously one of his sissified golfing pics.
D’OH!
Seriously??? Good Lord... they should’ve left it up. It has all the believability of John (who went to Vietnam) Kerry’s “wantin’ to get hissef a huntin’ license!”
Skeet shooting in that posture, would be worse if the picture were real.
Photoshop -- Substitute a skeet shotgun for the golf club
Freakin’ fool is tangled in his own legs
I don’t think he is tangled in his own legs-I think he has to go weewee
Wait a sec, that's my steam-bath word ...
Good movie

Stephen Glass was a hot young writer in the early 1990s at the liberal magazine The New Republic. It turned out that in most of his articles he simply made stuff up. He wrote that they had designed a “portable urinal” so that bondsmen wouldn’t have to leave the trading floor. He accused CPAC-goers of drug abuse and rape. He invented false churches, including the Church of George Herbert Walker Christ. He was a novelist posing as a journalist. And the editors ran at least 27 bogus stories he had written.

But he also got an HBO documentary.
It ain’t fake until we say it’s fake!
Those are some low flying discs.
“
LOL! That’s hilarious. I bet Obama would use the super modified, grab your package grip. LOL!!!”
I guess his “people” in Chicago don’t use the “super modified grip,” because too many of them are dying.
So, when you post, exactly what I have already posted with a different title, does your post get more attention ?
I saw this one earlier on FR. I’d bet that the loon fools were duped by a FReeper!
Pravda at work!
Never trust the main stream media.
New Republic...egg on the face of Chris Hughes. Reap and sow much?

No.
Have you ever thrown rocks on live .22 shells ?
the New Republic was a cradle for NeoCons once
Krauthammer
Barnes
O’Rourke
etc
all drank Marty Peretz’s bathwater
assclowns
Stanley’s movie reviews was all they were ever good for
That’s me shooting skeet?
I get to hold a long, black, hard thing like that?
More skeet, more skeet, we shoot skeet all the time.
Apparently it is true that there is a skeet shooting range at Camp David and that it has been used by various presidents from Eisenhower at least up to George W. Bush.
NO ONE holds a firearm like that. And, NO ONE cranes their neck like that after taking a shot with a firearm. Whoever decided to try to fake Obozo with a shotgun is stunningly stupid.
At least to the LIVs (Obama's Low Information Voters) at any rate and they will still be stuck on stupid come 2014 if we can find the right 2x4 to smack upside their dumb ass heads!
