Skeptical congresswoman challenges Obama to skeet shooting match
CNN ^ | Jan 28, 2013 | Ashley Killough

Posted on 01/29/2013 6:43:49 AM PST by libstripper

It's about time for some bipartisan...skeet shooting?

Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, joined a chorus of skeptics who questioned President Barack Obama's recent comments about his hobby of skeet shooting, a sport where participants fire shotguns to break airborne clay disks.

"If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this? Why have we not seen photos? Why hasn't he referenced this at any point in time?" Blackburn said Monday on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."

"I tell you what I do think," she later added. "I think he should invite me to Camp David, and I'll go skeet shooting with him and I bet I'll beat him."

I think it's a very good bet that this lady knows what she's doing at the skeet field, and that she shoots either a 20 gauge or a 28 gauge. (Maybe a .410 if she's REALLY good at it.)

I hope she offered to even let 0 use a 12 gauge - under the close supervision of her and/or her security dudes, of course...

Then again you just know he's the kind of arrogant d!ck who's not gonna have any muzzle discipline at all.

What the hell kinda posing is that he's doing in that picture anyway, and not even with any eye or ear protection?

Point goes to the lady.

I think that picture is a photo-shop - he’s in his ‘Golf pose’ there.

I think he’s lying, but I think the challenge is a mistake.

We don’t have an unalienable right to shoot skeet. We have an unalienable right to be armed with weaponry capable of fighting a tyranical overlord.

If he ignores this challenge, its a non-story. If he accepts, it means that he’s been practicing and it will get major coverage.

The correct response to the Demolsheviks is, “Stop trivializing the Constitution, by claiming it gives us the right to play games, but not be adults.”

I suck with a shotgun, went skeet shooting once, never hit a damn thing. Went duck hunting once managed to wing a duck after many tries then it took me another six rounds to kill the poor duck. I gave up duck hunting after that.

First prize for best, funniest graphics of the day. You did it with the Curta calculator, too, a couple of days ago.

NO!!! I was peanut hunting down in Georgia and a pack of giant rabbits attacked me. They came from nowhere and went back to nowhere, but they took my weapons and I never saw them OR the rabbits again.
I still have nightmares about it.
