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."

I kinda wanted to make a pic of him holding about 100 shotguns at once...
The king is not amused.
Lol!
If you look at the actual picture released...it’s an odd thing. Typically...shooting skeet...you have the gun at a 15-to-20 degree aim (upward). He’s firing the gun at a flat line...at some piece of paper on the wall I suspect. Maybe they call that skeet....but the picture is odd to match up with the term skeet.
Isn’t that the pic where he’s dressed like a clay pigeon?
Forget about free speech and the first amendment!
My impression: It was staged.
Number 1- Ouch!!!
Number 2- when was this taken? After he made the statement and someone thought they better give him a little training and take a pic?
I call BS all around.
I thought all government photographs were public domain. I think the only restriction is it can’t be used for an endorsement. For instance, you can’t use a photo with a NASA logo on it to make it look like NASA is endorsing something.
Never once did the left ‘shop a picture of Bush. Never.
Screw them, it is published on the White House website, we own that website, we own that photo. They are afraid to hurt his feelings.
Two questions:
1. Why is his cheek jammed up that tightly on his gun?
2. Why does it look like gasses are being emitted from the side of that barrel?
Just about everything coming out of the occupied government these days seems to be staged/faked/redone/lied about, so I wouldn’t be surprised.
It’s too predictable, after they make a wild claim that BO goes shooting “all the time,” they simply had to come up with a photo...
So does this mean the SS is coming to knock on our doors if we manipulate the image?
How about a flag coming out of the barrel instead of smoke — a flag labeled “I’m a homo”? Would that count as “manipulation”?
Or maybe they’ll come knocking on my door for suggesting an idea for manipulation...
1) Because he has no idea how to shoot.
2) Some shotguns have ported barrels.

Is “Skeet” the Secret Service code name for the press secretary?
