The only problem: the picture is a fake, and not hosted on the White House's website.
Within minutes the magazine had deleted the tweet and admitted its mistake:

President Obama recently told the New Republic magazine, "Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time." Today, after some suggested the president's claim might not be true, the New Republic tweeted a picture supposedly proving that Obama has gone skeet shooting:

Seen the same picture with different background and with a golf club! These people are really lazy...but their idiot voters will believe it.
I don’t think you could get very good at skeet shooting by holding the shotgun sideways i.e. homey style.
Always put your golf glove in your pocket when you fire a shotgun. LOL
...just posted the exact pic on this thread.
That was too easy. ...and some lib rag was too happy to tweet it only to have to acknowledge their stupidity.
Pretty funny.
The New Republic was previously home to articles by Stephen Glass who basically faked about 40 articles including one where a bunch of young CPAC attendees took over a hotel and acted like drunken sailors with foul language, over drinking, and treating women badly.
A nice movie was made called “Shattered Glass” detailing Stephen Glass’s false articles.
They cropped it to hide the golf shoes, but weren’t smart enough to remove the golf glove hanging out of his pocket.
where’s Looter Guy when you need him?
Freakin’ fool is tangled in his own legs ...
I doubt that Obama has ever held a gun in his life.
“can ah get me a skeet license here?”
Posted this earlier,
it’s likely the reason we haven’t seen any photos.

In the fake picture it looks like he is struggling just to lift the shotgun. It makes him look even wimpier than usual.
LOL! I saw that on a previous thread today and just assumed that one of our FR photo-shop geniuses made it. It’s obviously one of his sissified golfing pics.
D’OH!
Seriously??? Good Lord... they should’ve left it up. It has all the believability of John (who went to Vietnam) Kerry’s “wantin’ to get hissef a huntin’ license!”
