First they want to ban guns and now its on to banning photoshopping of pictures with guns. Talk about a slippery slope!

What an amazing picture! Is that the new Iranian air defense system? I don’t know how anything could penetrate a missile shield that dense. Have you seen the new Iranian stealth fighter?

The Iranians must be nigh invincible now...

My guess is there is a BFA (blank firing adapter) in the end of the barrel and he is shooting a blank. Which explains the smoke.

Well at least they knew better than to stag this photo with him wearing a pair of men’s jeans instead of the mom jeans he normally wears...

I have not shot skeet for several years but the picture looks staged...several things look wrong...

"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."

Let's do it anyway...

He looks about as natural shooting a shotgun gun as he did driving a Voltmobile 50 feet or throwing a baseball.

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.

Okay...so he’s not afraid of guns when HE’S holding them, just when OTHERS are holding them. Message received and confirmed.
OTOH- is there a division of PETA that will be outraged on behalf of ‘clay pigeons’ because of the symbolism of killing a bird?

So far, I prefer this analysis

One picture? Of the most photographed person on earth doing something "he does all the time"?. I don't think so. A screen capture from video or one still from a movie of the moment after the load leaves the barrel. To prove that he acctually shot the gun. Obviously posed (like most everything Obama does). Probably on a dare or a bet. If he shot all the time there would be more pics than him playing golf. We know this is posed.

Notice venting up. Anti-recoil porting on the top barrel of a small barreled over/under? 20 ga? 28ga.? That's a girl's gun. Obama is skinny, but with a "heavy" gun like an o/u, he ought to be able to shoot a 12ga. with skeet (light) loads. Notice his grip, not relaxed where he could swing on a moving air-borne target, but hanging on like it was .458 Weatherby Magnum. Stance is wrong, too. He either doesn't know what he is doing, not shooting at a target, or scared of the damn thing. Or all 3. Wuss.

He's just shooting down range, barrel is pointed too low, even though it is in full recoil. This is just a propaganda shot. Where are all the pics taken fom behind that show him "dusting" the clay pigeons? Don't exist, that's why we aren't shown them.

It's been years since I shot skeet, so I might be wrong, but the only thing believable about this is it was probably shot during warm weather - see the short sleeve shirt and green, lush woods in the background. Also real expert competators sometimes compete with small gauge shotguns, but that doesn't look like the case here.

Posed by the Poser-in-Chief. Probably will end up on the "Obama is a Big, Fat Liar" thread.
