The White House has released a photo of President Obama skeet shooting at Camp David from August, 2012, attempting to quell a controversy that arose when Obama said that he sympathized with hunters because he frequently went shooting himself.

“Attn skeet birthers. Make our day - let the photoshop conspiracies begin!,” former White House advisor David Plouffe tweeted in a message containing a link to a photo of Obama brandishing a shot gun and wearing ear muffs and sun glasses.

Conservative critics questioned the veracity of the Obama’s claims of skeet shooting because he had never been seen publicly shooting a gun.

“If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this,” Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said in a television interview after Obama’s remarks were made public.

Aiming awfully low for skeet, isn't he?

Just ONE observation.

I would bet it was taken very recently. The dust up has been going for 2 weeks+, plenty of time to go to Camp David and get a photo taken.

So what. Its a photo op. We have a photo of Dukakis riding in a tank and Kerry in the the space shuttle, but that doesn’t make them a tanker or astronaut!

Contrived as a reactionary effort to make us think he is anything but what he is: an anti-American, anti-freedom, illegitimate marxist usurper and would-be dictator. We have to stop being nice to these people and stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Shout it from the rooftops and every media outlet. Use their own despicable Alinsky tactics against them, as distasteful as that is.

They probably just propped a clay up on a fence post so he could hit it on the first shot and then get back to destroying the economy.

I wonder how many hours it took to teach him how to hold that rifle.

Obama can make anything look gay, even shooting a shotgun.

I second that. He must have waited until it got almost to the ground. In any case, he's definitely a danger to anyone watching from the side lines.

This isn’t a picture of Fearless Leader shooting skeet. It is actually a photo of his raid on the Osama Bin Laden compound. NOW IT CAN BE TOLD!

Here they are, the anti-gun people, desperately propping their guy up as a shooter. Just this one time, they love guns. The irony is astonishing.
