Obama goes skeet shooting 'all the time'

President Barack Obama says he has not only fired a gun, but has done it regularly.

"In fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," the president told The New Republic. "Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there.

"And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations.. And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake."

Even if true (and I doubt it) the 2nd Amendment isn't about skeet shooting.

[vetvetdoug]

Yep, he sure does. There are a plethora of photographs with him shooting skeet. If he does, he does it in secret.

[Flick Lives]

This is not only a lie by Obama, but a condescending lie. The 2nd Amendment is not a right to hunt. (...and lets see those picks “skeet shooting”)

[blueunicorn6]

I’ll bet you good money that when he was in high school in Hawaii, Obama was The Bagman on a Snipe Hunt.

[pepsionice]

How would you cook a skeet? And does skeet go with rice or mashed potatoes?

[cripplecreek]

Surely there must be pictures of this. No politician left or right would miss the opportunity to have photos taken of this mythical event just in case they’re needed in the future.

[kcvl]

“Can I get me a huntin’ license heyah?”

[digger48]

notice, he didn’t say HE went shooting.

Just that others that go there can do it.

[knarf]

SUUURRRRRE Y'DO, ZERO

(prolly dreams of a long ... hard ... explosive ... )

[Argus]

We have the Second Amendment so the skeet can shoot back.

[cripplecreek]

Yep, he sure does. There are a plethora of photographs with him shooting skeet. If he does, he does it in secret.

Exactly. There's not a politician in this country who would miss a shot of a pro gun photo op. If there are no pictures, its just Lyin Joe again.

[bgill]

“All the time” between golf, watching basketball, being with his extra special SS dude, ice cream and hot dogs, posing for the cameras, sleeping, tokin’ on a few and entertaining his muzzy bros.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

[Neoliberalnot]

The stupid Kenyan still thinks it is about hunting and shooting. What can we expect from the basta@@ child of a slovenly wench.

[Neoliberalnot]

This is simply a call for citizens to demand that politicians and federal workers be banned from owning guns. Cite democide to support your case.

[a fool in paradise]

President Barack Obama says he has not only fired a gun, but has done it regularly. "In fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time,"

"I know some black people", "I like going to NASCAR races!",

Plenty of patronizing phrases politicians use.

None of them hold any water. IF you have to say it, then why is there doubt?

Maybe he should do a photo op at church again so he can continue to pretend to be a practicing Christian.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Obama’s skeet shooter??

Perhaps he and Dick Cheney go go on a hunt sometime....

[vbmoneyspender]

And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting

How much respect does he have for the traditions of hunting tyrants?

[Old Flat Toad]

If he shoots like he throws baseball... No wonder there’s no video.

[fatnotlazy]

Camp David? I don’t think he’s been there more than twice. It’s not luxurious enough for him and his homegirl.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Nearly as often as he goes to church!

[wxgesr]

I bet he squeals like a girl from the kick.

[Yardstick]

"And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations.

How about the traditions of individual rights and opposition to tyranny?

[neodad]

Where kin I git me one of those skeet license?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Interesting that when one goes to Google Images and searches "Obama skeet", there are no photos of our President skeet shooting. However, search "Obama golf" and there are thousands. Search "Obama hotdog" and there are hundreds of photos of the president eating hot dogs. Search "Obama dance" and there are thousands of photos of him dancing.

Since there are no photos of 0bama skeet shooting, I believe he is a liar.

[Cyber Liberty]

Too bad hunting and skeet shooting (or even protection from criminals) aren’t the reason for the Second Amendment. Besides, he’s lying like a rug again. That scrawny POS wouldn’t know which end to point downrange.

[Darksheare]

This is about as believable as an alien landing in Times Square while wearing a slouch hat and duster while saying, “Greetings humans! Is it not a great day to be a human! I am so not an alien invader!”

[Red Steel]

LoL. Obama knows he’s losing. ‘Can I gut muh hunt’n license heaaar?’

[MarineBrat]

“Dick Cheney, please pick up the red courtesy phone.”

[LittleBillyInfidel]

“...profound respect...”
Oh great! He’s FINALLY broken my Bullsh#t Meter!

[OrioleFan]

In Chicago they call it street shooting...

[Gaffer]

Them White-Clay Skeet Targets are expensive...Oh well, his Democrat supporters pay for it...

[onyx]

[eyedigress]

Bully for him. It still has nothing to do with citizens uprising against tyranny.

[DTogo]

American history according to Obama:

General Thomas Gage sent his British regulars into Lexington and Concord to confiscate Colonial skeet shooting equipment... sparking the American Revolution.

American Colonist Richard Cheney accidentally shot a British regular while skeet shooting at a Whale Oilman's club in Lexington or Concord... sparking the American Revolution.

Amendment 2: The Right of the People to shoot skeet shall not be infringed.

"Give me skeet shooting, or give me death!"

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in skeet shooting..."

[eyedigress]

You have been elevated to genius level. Don’t spend it all in one place.

[digger48]

read his comment again.

he just says that “others” go skee shooting at Camp David.

He just threw in the “we” at the beginning because everything always has to be about him.

[ColdOne]

great post!

[Andrei Bulba]

Note the wording. “We” do skeet shooting. “Guests of mine often go up there”. Not him.

Also, they are guests of the USA not his, he is just a freeloader like those he represents.

[lacrew]

The headline does not match the article. Barry implies that other people shoot skeet, while he’s at Camp David...but makes no claim that he has done it.

A clever way for him to lie...IF the media goes along.

[BillyBonebrake]

“Skeet shooting all the time”, record golf rounds, endless vacations, and the same 7.8% unemployment he started with. What an arrogant, tone-deaf loser.

[Andrei Bulba]

While they take your guns, Biden tells you to shoot people after a natural disaster, Obama claims to love hunters.

Pure agenda driven bullcrap liars.

[Kickass Conservative]

Unless he changes his name to Skeet Obama, I couldn’t care less.

[Susquehanna Patriot]

This from a person often described in the media as a former professor of Constitutional Law. . . he should be mocked as a minimum . . . he knows better . . .he is trying to deceive the people of this great country. . .and that is dangerous to our freedoms.

[Hegemony Cricket]

"We have the Second Amendment so the skeet can shoot back."

Bullseye.

[Cicero]

Is this satire? How much time has this jerk spent at Camp David, as opposed to Ritzy Rentals in Hawaii or the Cape? Maybe 5 or 6 days in the past four years?

[jagusafr]

And how many who shoot skeet say they “do skeet shooting”? What a phony.

[EDINVA]

This whole ‘hunting meme’ is a purposeful distortion and distraction from the purpose of 2A.

[ken in texas]

No doubt he’s confused. I think he meant to say he went Snipe hunting.
