Did he actually say he shoots or did he say this

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/9830016/Barack-Obama-I-go-shooting-all-the-time.html

“Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time,” he said. “And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations. “

“We” in that context could be construed to mean he doesn’t actually shoot the gun”

I find the claim that he skeet shoots to be one of the most laughable of all his claims.

This could be what he means

Have you ever fired a gun?

Yes ONCE (could even be a toy gun)

and the rest of it pertains to the group at Camp David and he includes himself although he never shoots.

If he had actually shot skeet, he would know that the term is “shoot skeet”, not “do skeet shooting”.

Yep...he said “we”, then “guests” when asked to clarify. He never said he actually went shooting.

Good point. Obama uses the word “I” so much that when he uses “we” it should be a red flag that something is wrong.

That's what I thought. It is an intentionally misleading statement that technically is not a lie if parsed a certain way...yet the intention is to make people think he actually does the shooting.
