His shotgun is aimed straight ahead, where all skeet shooters we know of, including ourselves, follow the arc of the clay once the shooter yells “Pull!” ....
I do not usually stick up for Obama but there is a picture of the Kennedy’s skeet shooting there and the angle of their shot gun is about the same. But there is a fence and smaller path around them than this picture.
Someone said that the smoke leaving on the right side of the barrel should not have had time to float forward due to wind unless it is a very windy day.
Also I am amazed that there is not a port on the left side of the barrel to even out the forces. But maybe there isn’t on this shotgun.

Nope. Also ported on left side (rows at 10:15 and 11:15 positions).
The smoke doesn't drift upward, it is ejected like there was an explosion behind it.
And the smoke is visible in front (left) of the upper rib. (Slightly misaligned because the barrel has recoiled about 4mm up and to the right)
