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.

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