The White House has released a picture purporting to show President Obama "skeet shooting" at Camp David. An activity he claims he does "all the time."

The White House also warns all you mischievous internet types to not mess around with the picture:

"This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House."

Instead of BANG, shouldn’t that be his birth certificate coming out of the barrel???

He is a half a$$ lefty like he is a half a$$ _resident.

I want to see one with the gun held sideways. I’d also like the one with smoke coming out of his arse. How about one with smoke coming out his ears?

Shooting a pigeon made out of clay?

Shooting from a bicycle with that gay helmet?

As I said on another thread on this subject, “Let the games begin.”

oops...I did it again...

According to google earth it’s still there, they must have taken it down for Obama.

[who knows what evil?]

I wonder if Congresswoman Blackburn has had a look at this yet...

No, his BC would be coming out of his backside.

How things have changed. Even the well off had things simpler then. A small crushed gravel path and stands instead of the paving we now have so commonly.

When you go to the Camp David link you’ll notice something else in the pic’s and vids. About the only time you’ll see that much smoke from a shotgun is when it’s cold.

LOL!

[Dallas59]

And again!

If it’s an official WH photo we paid for it and therefore own it. How do they have the authority to tell us what we can and can’t do with it?

According to the link at Flickr herethe photo comes from "The White House's Photostream". Their admonition about how these photos can be treated (under Profile) says:

"These official White House photographs are being made available for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photographs. The photographs may not be used in materials, advertisements, products, or promotions that in any way suggest approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House."

There is nothing about not manipulating them. Now, when I go to the official White House website and view their photo gallery, I can't find what their "rules" say.

[Arrowhead1952]

Many areas prohibit the discharge of firearms within 100 yards or so from any type of “structure”.

Every one I've ever been to have had the downrange area well away from a paved road. I think this is as fake as his entire admin.

LOL!

As several have observed, that photo does, indeed look "hokey".

Ported O/U shotguns are available; Citori, for one offers factory porting, and shops like MagNaPort perform aftermarket porting.

But, several things about the porting in that photo don't lookl exactly right:

• The single, low-velocity plume (not jet) from the port looks very odd. (Porting effectiveness depends on high gas jet velocity...)

• Most porting includes a long row of holes along the barrel -- not a single port. (See the row of eleven (11) holes in the photo below.)

• All porting I have seen is done on both sides of the barrel. Øbozo's appears to only be ported on the right. (Which would tend to shove the muzzle to the left,)
  

Shouldn't we see multiple jets -- along the barrel -- on both sides?

~~~~~~~~~~

The muzzle blast smoke looks odd, too:

• The smoke/gas looks low velocity -- "squirted", not "blasted" out

• To my eye, the ejected gas doesn't appear to be aligned with the center of either bore.

• If that white thing at the muzzle of the upper barrel is the cork -- where is the string?

Surely the pResident (of the White Hut) wouldn't post a Photoshopped fake photo - and then tell others not to "alter" it -- further...

Apologies - intended to ping you — as OP — in #98...

The picture looks like it was taken around noon. The shadow on his left hand indicates the sun was overhead. If golfing was around 6 hours his golf start time would be about 6am and this photo around 1pm.

I wonder what the reported timelines were.
