The contrast between Zero and W is stark:

If there are truthers and birthers, should there now be a new term for those who are doubting President Obama’s claim that he goes skeet shooting “all the time”? And should that term be “skeeters”? If so, count CNN’s rising young star Erin Burnett among the gadflies.
During a segment on Monday night, Burnett took over two minutes to dissect the president’s shooting claim — and she found it wanting.
“Obama the skeet shooter,” she began. “Yeah, I’m not making this up. I mean, if someone is, it isn’t me.”
She then played the clip of CNN’s Jessica Yellin confronting Press Secretary Jay Carney on the comments, repeatedly asking if a picture of the activity existed and why no one had ever heard of him doing it before.
Burnett then turned to a panel where she said there’s “skepticism” among conservatives and non-conservatives about the president’s claim.
“So, now you’re going to say you do it all the time, don’t you have to kind of prove it?” she asked.
Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher wasn’t impressed: “Such speculation is to be expected from a deranged partisan, but not from a journalist. She owes him an apology.”

He was referring to shooting skeeter bugs with his Ortho all purpose bug spray.
I reckon the MSM went from “liberal bias” to “full member of the progressive regime” in early 2008.
The contrast between Zero and W is stark:
Odumbo has told hundreds, if not thousands, of lies in the last four years. And this one is the one the lame media chooses to question him on.
Boy, they’re sure doing a fine job!!
Jay, what is his favorite skeet gun? The Webly-Vulcan multigauge in 3.5” magnum,the Italian Cafone side by side modified or a does he prefer something from the Chicago PD evidence locker?
“what type of rifle he uses,”
Rifle? For Skeet? However,,, if he did answer with some sort of rifle info,,, that’d be funny!
It is literally impossible for a grown man to NOT look like a dork while wearing a bicycle helmet. I’ve never worn one in my life, and if I did I’d want a full-face model because I wouldn’t want anyone who knows me to know it’s me.
Watch for her to be quietly fired in about 3 weeks.
There are no pics because no photog would want to be within 200 yds with the President holding a gun, swinging it all around.
So, once again, Obama will have to give up something that he loved doing because far-right nutwing journalists hounded him for it.
It's a hard life being president and having to do without stuff...

Please keep us appraised of that prediction. Could be big news if comes true.
Excellent
Difference is that Louis actually did some shooting and felt no need to lie about it.
But otherwise, the attitude is the same.
" 's good to be the King."
Rifle? For Skeet?
What? Are you trying to say that you're not a good enough shooter that you need to use a shotgun for skeet? :=)
Huh... Obama tell a lie?
No, I can’t believe THAT!
Har har har hardy har har....
“you’re not a good enough shooter that you need to use a shotgun for skeet? :=)”
I was a regular 22-24 shooter with a 12 gauge. Ever shot Skeet with a 410? Talk about frustrating! If I was lucky, I’d get 14 or 15!
It's been many decades since I've shot skeet. (In fact, it may have been trap or sporting clays rather than skeet. Sorry, I'm not entirely clear on the differences.) I was in the Boy Scouts (a skinny 12 or 13-year-old) at the time and, wow, was my shoulder ever sore that day.
Hey, I used the word 'skeeter' first. :(
