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.

'Shotgunner' Obama Hates Camp David (because it has no golf course)

...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.

I doubt that Obama has ever held a gun in his life.

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.

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!”

Skeet shooting in that posture, would be worse if the picture were real.

from the daily caller:

http://dailycaller.com/2011/07/05/the-continued-relevance-of-stephen-glass/

Stephen Glass was a hot young writer in the early 1990s at the liberal magazine The New Republic. It turned out that in most of his articles he simply made stuff up. He wrote that they had designed a “portable urinal” so that bondsmen wouldn’t have to leave the trading floor. He accused CPAC-goers of drug abuse and rape. He invented false churches, including the Church of George Herbert Walker Christ. He was a novelist posing as a journalist. And the editors ran at least 27 bogus stories he had written.
