Why was he wearing sunglasses rather than protective eye wear?
Wouldn’t sunglasses make it more difficult to see the skeet?
Could this administration be any more full of A-holes?
Observations:
choke only in top barrel?
he doesn’t have any more shells? does the ss load for him?
he is firing at a very low angle. Aren’t the clays release high from the houses?
I don’t ever remember that much ‘smoke’....

August 4, 2012 Obama played golf in the morning. Left for Camp David in the afternoon.
"Sire! The pisants do complain - no jobs have they, so money to buy bread they have nought.""Let 'em eat Skeet."
Well, if the 237th Guards Armored Skeet Division attacks us, we know who we can call on. I’m going to sleep better tonight just knowing that.
So, he’s left-handed and doesn’t know how to shoulder a shotgun.
“That damn bird has been crapping on the basketball backboards. Where’s that shotgun?”
BLAM!
“That’s one that won’t be pooping anymore.”
“Uh, Mr. President, that was a Spotted Owl.”
“Damn right I spotted him. I blasted him, too.”
As others have mentioned, the angle of the barrel seems low. I don’t see how he could hit skeet from either house while standing at stations 2-6 or station 8. Stations 1 or 7 - maybe but it would be a long, long shot at that angle. If he is on station 1 (back to high house) the photographer is in position to be covered by the arch of the president’s muzzle. Can’t image the president - who “does skeet all the time” - letting that happen. Or the secret service. He could be on station 7 (back to low house). However, that means anyone traveling on the paved road or bike path behind the president will be in the line of fire - not just from station 7 but stations 1-7. I have never seen a skeet range with a paved road bisecting the hot zone - not even an informal cracker range. Would someone that knows something about skeet explain how this could be a picture of the president actually shooting on a skeet range?
Michelle’s Mom has a good ‘ol southern recipe for those skeets.
First thing I noticed about this photo....
The gun elevation.
The clay pigeon can’t be more than 12 feet off the ground.
What’s he doing?
Aiming at the launcher and squeezing the trigger when he hears the warning buzz?
